Right fielder Al Kaline ripped 2 homeruns and had 5 RBI as the Kansas City
Athletics were badly beaten by the Detroit Tigers, 15 to 4.
Kaline was really 'in the zone'. He lofted a three-run 'big-fly' in the 2nd
inning and blasted a two-run home run (his 32nd of the season) in the 7th
inning. Detroit lit up the scoreboard in the 2nd inning which saw them plate
4 runs on 4 hits and the 5th inning when they had 5 runs on 5 hits. For the
game Detroit out-hit Kansas City 17 to 9.
Duke Maas(5-5) allowed no runs in 5 innings, and picked up the victory. Glenn
Cox(0-1) was the losing pitcher. He pitched 1 and 1/3 innings allowing 5
hits and 1 walk.
Jim Busby drew a bases loaded walk in the bottom of the 10th inning to give the White Sox a 2-1 win over the Indians.

The amazing Chicago White Sox nipped the Cleveland Indians in 10 innings 2 to
1 at Comiskey Park in a hard fought contest.
The score was knotted at 1 after nine innings. Chicago came out the victor in
the 10th inning. After two outs Bob Nieman banged out a single. Sherm
Lollar stepped into the batter's box and he delivered a one-base hit. Buddy
Peterson then reached on an error. Jim Busby was up next and he drew a walk
giving Chicago the victory as 36,970 happy fans celebrated wildly. Chicago
finished with 12 hits while Cleveland ended up with 8.

Dick Gernert had 2 base hits and 2 RBI at Fenway Park where the Boston Red Sox
beat the lifeless Baltimore Orioles 8 to 6.
Frank Sullivan(17-13) got the win but did not look spectacular. He gave up 5
runs, 9 hits and 3 walks in 5 innings. Boston had 13 hits for the afternoon.
Ellis Kinder gained credit for his 19th save. Bill Wight(6-6) was hit with
the loss. He was unable to control the Boston offense and allowed 10 hits
and 5 walks in 6 innings.
'I was a little good, a little bad and a little ugly.' said Sullivan, 'I was
just giving us a chance to win.'
Hal Smith scored on a passed ball to give Baltimore a 5-4 12 inning win and a split of the doubleheader with Boston.

next and he singled. One out later, Ellis Kinder came up and he uncorked a
pitch that was ruled a passed ball scoring the run. Baltimore finished with
18 hits while Boston ended up with 13.
Ed Lopat(7-10) allowed no runs in 1 inning, and picked up the victory. Erv
Palica earned the save, his 2nd. Kinder(5-6) suffered the loss in relief.
