7/24-7/26/70 @ Detroit
7/24 Tigers 7 White Sox 2
Rich Hinton pitched pretty well. Four of the runs were against Wilbur Wood. Rich McKinney hit a homer, but we weren't able to muster much more offense against Mike Kilkenny, John Hiller, or Fred Scherman.
7/25 Tigers 3 White Sox 2
Joe Staton hit an 8th inning homer off of Floyd Weaver to win it for Detroit. Tommy John took a no-hitter into the sixth and was still trailing 1-0 at that point because of three walks and an Ossie Blanco error.
7/26 White Sox 5 Tigers 3
I thought we were going to get swept when we were trailing 3-2 in the 8th, fortunately, Bill Melton hit a three-run homer that inning to give us the lead. Wilbur Wood pitched three shutout innings to earn the win; although, Fred Rath deserves a lot of credit for keeping it close.
Record: 43-57
