Tigers Lose Star Kuenn In Baltimore Slump Deepens
Detroit center fielder Harvey Kuenn, the team’s leading hitter, suffered severe gashes near his right eye in a collision at Baltimore while chasing a two run homer by Gus Triandos. Kuenn, 27, had a .341 average and may miss tonight’s game after plastic surgery. The Tigers dropped to eighth as Triandos’ seventh inning homer helped Baltimore win 64. The loss added to Detroit’s slide while other AL games saw White Sox beat Yankees and Indians win in 10 innings.
