The Tigers scored four runs in the first inning, three on a homer by Willie Horton, to start a 7-4 victory over the Angels. After a double by Mickey Stanley, single by Jim Northrup, pass to Al Kaline and Horton's homer, Rudy May retired 11 men in a row until being kayoed in the fifth when Stanley singled and Northrup walked. Singles by Kaline and Bill Freehan off Mel Queen drove in runs. [The Sporting News]
