The Tigers swept a doubleheader from the White Sox, winning the opener, 7-1, and capturing the nightcap, 6-4. In the first game, the Tigers took a 2-0 lead in the second inning when Chicago left fielder Thad Bosley misplayed Duffy Dyer's fly for a two-base error with two runners aboard. In a three-run third, Lance Parrish stroked an RBI single, Tom Brookens drilled a run-scoring double and jim Lentine executed a squeeze bunt.

The White Sox turned in the second triple play in the majors this season on a controversial play in the eighth inning. Lentine led off the frame with a double and went to third on a single by Lou Whitaker. Dyer then lifted a fly to right fielder Harold Baines. The ball fell out of Baines' glove, but the ump ruled the ball had been caught. It was picked up by second baseman Jim Morrison, who threw to first baseman Mike Squires to nail Whitaker. Squires then threw to third baseman Greg Pryor for the third out. Detroit Manager Sparky Anderson claimed the ball was trapped by Baines.

In the second game, White Sox errors contributed to their demise. Two errors and a walk loaded the bases for the Tigers in the first inning and a sacrifice fly by Brookens and two-run double by Richie Hebner made it a three-run frame. Lentine blooped a two-run double in the eighth following a walk and error. [The Sporting News]
