Roger Repoz and Ken McMullen hit homers in the Angels' attack on Denny McLain as Clyde Wright gained his 18th victory by defeating the Tigers, 6-3. Wright was chased in the ninth inning when the Tigers scored their runs on a two-base error by Alex Johnson, double by Dick McAuliffe and homer by Al Kaline, but Ken Tatum relieved and retired the side. Repoz, who scored in the first inning, hit his homer in the third. Sandy Alomar batted in two runs with a single in the fourth and McMullen added his homer with a man on base in the eighth.
