Oscar Gamble batted in three runs in the first two innings as the Indians knocked out Mickey Lolich and defeated the Tigers, 12-6. After Gamble homered in the first inning, the Indians put together six straight singles off Lolich for five runs in the second. Gamble capped the string with a single, accounting for two tallies. The Indians proceeded to score twice off each of three relievers who saw service for the Tigers over the balance of the game. The Tigers had two-run homers by Marvin Lane and Reggie Sanders.
