Making his debut with the Yankees, Rudy May pitched a four-hitter and defeated the Tigers, 4-1, in the first game of a scheduled doubleheader. The second game was postponed because of rain. May, who was obtained from the Angels, gave up the Tigers' lone run in the second inning on a triple by Bill Freehan and sacrifice fly by Dick Sharon.
