Denny McLain turned in his first complete game of the season and pitched the Tigers to a 5-2 victory over the Brewers. McLain was booed by the crowd of 19,286 when Tommy Harper opened the game with a homer for the Brewers. The Tigers came back in their half with three runs on singles by Dalton Jones and Mickey Stanley, a double by Jim Northrup, sacrifice fly by Gates Brown and infield out by Norm Cash. Dave May homered for the Brewers in the second, but the Tigers then turned to the long ball with circuit clouts by Bill Freehan in the fourth and Northrup in the fifth. [The Sporting News]
