Tigers win in 17 innings as second game halted by curfew
Detroit outlasted Cleveland 2-1 in 17 innings in the first game of a doubleheader and led 5-2 in the nightcap before an 1 a.m. curfew halted play. John Hiller set a major league record with six straight strikeouts to open the first game, Dick Tracewski drove in the winning run in the 17th, and Al Kaline delivered a tie breaking two run pinch double in the sixth of the second game. Meanwhile Baltimore lost to Minnesota 5-4, Boston beat Chicago 8-2, and the Angels split with California, among other notable results.
