Sparked by Al Kaline and Jim Price, who hit homers, the Tigers exploded for six runs in the fourth inning and ended the Indians' five-game winning streak, 6-3. Kaline led off with his round-tripper and, after one out, Price also hit for the circuit. Don Wert walked, Elliott Maddox singled and Cesar Gutierrez batted both home with a double. An infield hit by Mickey Lolich and a pass to Mickey Stanley loaded the bases. Dick McAuliffe was hit by a pitch, forcing in run, and then Kaline, up for the second time, grounded into a forceout as the Tigers' final tally crossed the plate. Vada Pinson homered for the Indians.
