Turning in his first complete game of the season, Fritz Peterson pitched the Indians to a 3-1 victory over the Tigers. Jack Brohamer, who wound up with three hits, singled in the first inning and scored the Indians' initial run on a wild pitch and an infield out by John Lowenstein. The Tigers countered with a run on a double by Bill Freehan, scoring Al Kaline, in home half, but the Indians pulled away in the third with singles by Frank Duffy, Brohamer and Lowenstein. A single by Oscar Gamble, double by Charlie Spikes and single by George Hendrick added an insurance marker in the fourth. [The Sporting News]
