Denny McLain, who pitched no-hit ball for five innings, lost both his temper and the game in the sixth when the Brewers scored four runs to defeat the Senators, 4-0. Ted Kubiak lef off the stanza with a single, but two were out when Tommy Harper walked on a 3-2 pitch. The ball four call by umpire Art Frantz incensed McLain.
