June 22, 1971




Les Cain and Mel Stottlemyre matched up in a classic pitching duel, ending with a 1-0 Tigers victory over the New York Yankees when Jim Northrup came through with a run scoring single in the 9th inning. Les Cain, 5-1, pitched his 2nd shut-out in a row and Detroit increased their division lead over Baltimore to 1.5 games with the win.
