Denny McLain tossed a complete game at Tiger Stadium where the Detroit Tigers








beat the Baltimore Orioles 2 to 1.








 








The deciding run was scored by Detroit in the bottom of the 8th.  After two








outs Norm Cash smashed a solo-shot out of the park.  Willie Horton stepped








into the batter's box and he ripped a single.  Baltimore had a chance in the








9th but they came up short.  








 








McLain(20-7) picked up the complete game victory, allowing 1 run. Dick








Hall(7-6) was given the loss in relief.  He surrendered 2 hits and no walks








in 2 innings.  








 








When questioned about the loss, Earl Weaver said, 'The fans got to see an








exciting game out there this afternoon.  Unfortunately, we couldn't get it








done this time.  Next time, though, we'll be the clubhouse with all the








smiles.'
