Tigers 3 (39-34), White Sox 0 (43-29)

The Tigers were outhit 6-3 but they made their hits count as Joe Sparma shut out the White Sox.  Sparma improved to 9-1 on the season and he gave up the six hits and two walks with four strikeouts in the complete game shutout.

Gary Peters was nearly as good as Sparma and gave up only three hits with eleven strikeouts, but two of those three hits were homeruns.  Mickey Stanley hit a two run shot in the second inning and Bill Freehan homered in the sixth to account for the three Tiger runs.

J.C. Martin seemed to be the only guy who could figure out Sparma. He was three for three and he stole a base.
