New York’s Walter Johnson allowed just 4 hits and struck out 11 in a complete game start against the Detroit Rockets. But one of those hits was an RBI single in the 1st that extended Ichiro Suzuki’s hitting streak to 24 games. The other was a solo home run by Adrián Beltré. That would be the only runs the Rockets would need. Detroit starter Bret Saberhagen allowed a solo homer to Lou Boudreau in the 1st, but then held New York scoreless, scattering 9 hits and pitching out of jams throughout. Saberhagen picked up his AL-leading 7th win. Tom Henke pitched a scoreless 9th for his 9th save. Detroit improved to 22-16, while New York fell to 16-22.
