STARTING PITCHERS
8XYW (8-13 3.89) 12X (11-4 2.13)
Two upscale southpaws duked it out in this one, their parry going 7 innings with each with just one blemish. Venerable all star right fielder Al Kaline was the difference in this one as his late inning hitting theatrics spelled doom for the visitors.

NOTES: Big game by Al Kaline as he continues to chase the leaders in the batting race. Eddie Matthews made his first start at 3rd base, unfortunately his error gave the Indians their first run. Sam McDowell extended his shutout streak to 23 before surrendering a run. He got a no decision. Max Alvis has a six game hit streak.
