W: Richard Dotson (11-4) – L: Milt Wilcox (8-6) | Boxscore
Record: 55-25 — 7 games up on Toronto
Highlights
- Detroit’s skid hits four games in a pitcher’s duel-turned-blowout.
- Wilcox and Dotson matched zeroes through five innings, and in the sixth the wheels came off of Milt and the Sox took an 8-0 lead.
- Aurelio López relieved Wilcox, who’d given up six runs, but he managed to get just one out before handing it over to Sid Monge. Poor Isidro gave up two runs and a homer in his two innings of work.
- Dotson allowed just three of the Tigers five hits.
- Darrell Evans and Johnny Grubb hit homers.
