Yielding only four hits, Tom Bradley turned in his first complete game in six starts this season and pitched the White Sox to a 7-0 victory over the Tigers. Tom Timmerman, who started for the Tigers, injured a finger on a play at first base in the fourth inning and was forced to leave the game.

The White Sox then did all their scoring at the expense of two rookie righthanders, Phil Meeler and Bob Strampe, who made their major league debuts in relief for the Tigers. Meeler was rapped for three runs in the sixth and Strampe was tagged for four in the eighth. [The Sporting News]
