Al Kaline did all he could to help his team win. In the end, though, it wasn't enough to keep the Detroit Wolverines from being beaten, 7-5, to the Baltimore Black Sox at Camden Yards. Kaline was 3-4 with a home run and a double. The win went to John Tudor in relief, making him now 4-3. Charlie Root took the loss for Detroit. Baltimore occupies last place in the American League Bill James Division at 60-76.

The Black Sox got a big at-bat from right fielder Bryce Harper. For the game, Harper was 1 for 4 with a home run, while adding 2 RBI and scoring once. In the bottom of the third, with a runner on 2nd, he stroked a 2-run home run. His 33rd home run of the season gave Baltimore a 3-1 lead.

"I'm just looking to see the ball, hit the ball," said Harper.
