TEAM RISP- Tigers: 4 for 7 Orioles: 2 for 9
Denny McLain mowed down 10 Baltimore batters and Al Kaline smacked 2 homeruns
and had 3 RBI as the Detroit Tigers bested the Baltimore Orioles 8 to 4 at
Memorial Stadium.
Kaline had a good evening at the plate. He hit a bases-empty home run in the
1st inning, doubled which plated a run in the 7th inning and smashed a
solo-shot out of the park in the 9th inning. Detroit totaled 14 hits on the
night.
McLain(26-6) got the victory, allowing 4 runs for the game. Roger Nelson(4-4)
was the losing pitcher. He pitched 6 innings allowing 9 hits and 1
walk.
McLain was pleased with his performance. He noted, 'I had good command of all
my pitches. Just as important, my location was right on.'
