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.

Johnny Briggs beat out an infield hit and Dave May doubled, driving in two runs. After an intentional pass to Bill Voss, Roberto Pena singled to score another pair. McLain, backing up home plate, began jawing with Frantz and was ejected from the game. [The Sporting News]
