Tigers Down Indians, 4-3
The Detroit Tigers did just enough to nip the Cleveland Indians, 4-3, in 16 innings. Detroit pitcher Jim Bunning, in particular, had a standout performance. The Tigers sit in second place in the American League Central Division with a record of 80-76.

Up to bat in the bottom of the 16th, 30-year old right fielder Kirk Gibson had a chance to be the hero. Cleveland pitcher Early Wynn wanted to foil that plan. But with one out, Gibson hit a sacrifice fly. The Tigers had themselves a thrilling win.

"Jim set the tone with his ability to attack the hitters," said Detroit manager .
