White Sox 6 (79-63), Tigers 0 (81-63)

The Tigers five game winning streak came to an abrupt end as White Sox starter Joe Horlen threw a no-hitter to keep the White Sox in the pennant hunt.  Horlen faced the minimum 27 with the only baserunner reaching on an error and even he was shot down in a double play.

Joe Sparma took the loss for the Tigers.  He fell to 14-9 and he gave up five runs while he got just one batter out before being pulled.

Wayn Causey had a nice day at the plate in the win.  He went two for four with a triple, two runs and two RBIs.

The good news for the Tigers in this game was that they got some hits.  The bad news is, they were shut out for the second straight game as they were held scoreless through both games in the doubleheader.  Cisco Carlos picked up the win with six of those shutout innings and Hoyt Wilhelm threw 1 2/3 shutout innings to close out the game to earn his 18th save of the season.  Denny McLain took the loss for the Tigers in a tough start.  He gave up two runs and he only lasted one inning.

Don Buford singled, drew a walk and scored twice for the White Sox.  Pete Ward singled and drove in two runs.  For the Tigers, three of the five Tigers hits came with Jim Northrup at the plate.
