Cashing in on the wildness of Stan Bahnsen, the Tigers scored three runs in the second inning and defeated the White Sox, 4-2. Dick McAuliffe walked, Norm Cash singled and Aurelio Rodriguez drew a pass to load the bases. Bahnsen then walked Ed Brinkman to force in one run and Mickey Stanley followed with a single to drive two across the plate. [The Sporting News]
