Half Game Separates Top AL Contenders in Wacky Race

The four AL East leaders remained tied by half a game after Monday’s results. Baltimore split with New York, Detroit beat Cleveland, Boston won then lost to Milwaukee, and the Yankees squandered a late lead. Oakland widened its West lead by splitting with California while Chicago was swept by Minnesota. Fritz Peterson started for New York, Boog Powell and Andy Etchevarren helped Baltimore, and Murcer, Alou and Ellis provided late runs for the Yankees. Horton's clutch hit paced Detroit, Tiant blanked Milwaukee in Boston’s opener, and the day featured strong pitching and late-inning drama.
