The Tigers scored their sixth straight victory, edging the White Sox, 2-1. After Ken Henderson's homer in the second inning had given the Sox a 1-0 lead, the Tigers won the game in the fourth. Gary Sutherland opened with a single and scored on Leon Roberts' triple. Willie Horton then hit a high pop fly to right which Pat Kelly caught after a long run but was unable to make an accurate throw to the plate. It was Horton's 60th RBI of the season, tops in the league. [The Sporting News]
