Never strong on route-going performances, Clyde Wright turned in his first complete game of the season and pitched the Angels to a 5-0 victory over the Tigers. Even last year, when the lefthander won 22 games, he lasted the distance only seven times. Ken Berry and Ken McMullen hit homers to help Wright to his decision over the Tigers, balancing his record at 3-3. [The Sporting News]
