The Tigers shut out the White Sox, 1-0, behind the combined pitching of Milt Wilcox and Aurelio Lopez. The reliever pitched out of a bases-loaded jam in the seventh to preserve the victory. The Tiger run came when Champ Summers drew a one-out walk in the second stanza, stole second with two out and came home on a single by Jerry Morales. [The Sporting News]
