DETROIT (80-58) @ CHICAGO (87-52)

STARTING PITCHERS

9XZ (4-2 2.28) 16X (18-5 2.46)

John Hiller’s no hit streak ended with his first batter of the game and was down a run when the inning finished. Eddie Matthews finally paid dividends for the Bengals, sending one into the right field seats to put the visitors ahead. They tacked on another but Ken Boyer, a thorn in the side of Detroit all weekend drove in a pair to tie the score. The contest went to overtime and the Sox must have felt good have old reliable Hoyt Wilhelm on the bump. But he did not have it this day as his wildness with the the knuckleball and pesky Ray Oyler did him and the Pale Hose in.
