In a meeting of veteran lefthanders, Mickey Lolich triumphed over Wilbur Wood and pitched the Tigers to a 6-1 victory over the White Sox. Wood, who had pitched three straight shutouts, had his string broken in the first inning when the Tigers scored on a pass to Tony Taylor, an infield out, stolen base and sacrifice fly by Al Kaline. A triple by Willie Horton, a wild pitch and homer by Mickey Stanley added two runs in the second.
