Leon Wagner fueled Cleveland with a two run homer and three hits as the Indians piled up 18 hits to beat Detroit 13-2. Wagner voiced frustration over platooning but delivered again alongside Del Crandall and Vic Davalillo while Tom Kelley earned the win. Mantle moved into eighth on the all time home run list with 477, and Maris left with knee injuries after a collision.
