Tigers 4 (80-62), White Sox 1 (78-62)
The Tigers supplanted the Boston Red Sox tie as they moved into a tie for first place in the American League with the Minnesota Twins. They did behind the red hot arm of Mickey Lolich, who improved to 10-12 and was riding a five game winning streak. Lolich gave up one run on six hits and a walk with two strikeouts in 7 2/3 innings while Fred Lasher got the final four batters out to earn his sixth save. Tommy John took the loss for the White Sox and he fell to 9-10. He gave up two runs (one earned) on four hits and two walks with three strikeouts in six innings.
Eddie Mathews and Jim Northrup both hit solo homers in the win for the Tigers. Ken Boyer was the only White Sox hitter with two hits and he drove in their lone run.
