Slumping Cardinals Lose 7th Straight
Though he had a terrific game, Eddie Leon could not prevent his team, the St. Louis Cardinals, from absorbing a loss. Detroit won the game, 7-6. Leon went 3 for 3 with a home run, a triple, a double, and a walk. He scored 2 times and drove in 2. Detroit reliever Ed Lopat picked up the win, upping his record to 5-3. Nick Pivetta absorbed the loss. With the win, Detroit raised its record to 77-61.

Jerry Remy was the walk-off hero for Detroit. With the game tied in the bottom of the ninth inning, the Tigers first baseman hit a dramatic run-scoring single to send the teams home.

Remy described the clubhouse as "kind of rowdy" after the game.
