Kaline had four hits, including his seventh home run, and scored twice while driving in two runs.
The Tigers (20-18) trailed 5-2 in the eighth but scored three times in the inning, capped by Kaline's single to drive in pinch-hitter Jerry Lumpe, who doubled.
The Senators got on the board first when Cap Peterson hit a grand slam off Tigers starter Denny McLain in the third inning. A Ken McMullen single in the seventh put the Senators ahead, 5-2.
Mike Marshall (1-0) got the win in relief for Detroit, which is 4-6 on its current 14-game home stand.
Peterson came a triple away from hitting for the cycle for Washington.
In the 11th, Kaline led off with a single. Willie Horton struck out. Bill Freehan beat out an infield single, and both runners moved up when Casey Cox uncorked a wild pitch. Norm Cash was intentionally walked, and Stanley, struggling to bat his weight, drove a fly ball deep enough to left field to score Kaline easily with the winning run.
