Willie Hortan and Jim Northrup both drove in two runs in the inning while Don Wert went two for three with a run and an RBI for the Tigers. Pete Ward went two for four with an RBI for the White Sox.
Pat Dobson picked up the win for the Tigers with two shutout innings of relief and Fred Lasher threw a shutout ninth for his seventh save of the season. Bob Locker was tagged with the loss and he gave up two runs without getting a single hitter out.
