Bobby Doerr hit a two-run triple, while Lee Culberson (playing 3rd) hit a two-run HR to contribute in their six-run third inning. The Tigers would try to climb back, but the damage was done as Mickey Lolich would allow six runs in three innings; the Tigers bullpen (which has been a weakness) held their own in this one, allowing only a run during five innings to give the Tigers a chance.
