Making his first A. L. start, Woodie Fryman pitched the Tigers to a 6-0 victory in the opener of a doubleheader before the Yankees came back to win the nightcap, 2-1. Fryman allowed only six hits. Aurelio Rodriguez led the Tigers' attack in support of the former N. L. lefthander, hitting two doubles and a single, driving in three runs and scoring two.
