Bill Freehan had a homer (15), a single and three RBI to pace the Tigers attack. Norm Cash added a solo home run (16) as the Tigers (54-42) won their fourth straight game and moved into second place, 1.5 games behind the Chisox.
The game started well for the White Sox as Ken Berry led off the first inning with a home run. But Sparma (10-10) gave up just two singles the rest of the game, both in the third inning. Sparma retired 20 of the final 22 hitters, including 18 in a row after giving up those two singles.
In the third inning, Al Kaline got his first hit since returning after a month-long absence due to a broken finger. Kaline doubled down the left field line.
Sparma walked three and struck out five.
