Horton Handles the Hitting By Ron Rapoport AP Sports
Willie Horton anchors Detroit's doubleheader day with two runs, six hits, and six RBIs amid a late surge. He belies a slump state as he delivers two homers and a key two-run double, lifting the Tigers to a split with Boston and highlighting a season in which his batting average hovers near .286 and 67 RBIs place him among league leaders. The day ends with a tense finish as Boston edges Detroit in the nightcap before Horton sparks the 10th-inning rally, though the game ends with a double play and a dramatic finish in Tiger Stadium.

Dodgers Pound Astros as Roseboro Sparks Victory
Dodgers defeated Houston 14 3 behind Roseboro's three hits and three runs as Los Angeles reclaimed the NL lead. Roseboro noted his pregame hitting habit spoiled his timing, but since dropping that routine his average climbed from .240 to .346 after May 31, fueling the rally. The win left LA one game ahead of Pittsburgh and three in front of San Francisco.
