Wolverines Upend Colt 45s, 6-4
Detroit picked up a win at Minute Maid Park, bumping off the Houston Colt 45s, 6-4. Pitcher Hal Newhouser was a major reason the Wolverines emerged victorious. Mike Henneman earned the save, his 6th. The win brings the Wolverines to 12-20, an awful start for a team that made the playoffs just last season.

The Wolverines got a big at-bat from center fielder Al Kaline. For the game, Kaline went 1 for 4 with a home run, while adding 2 RBI and scoring once. In the top of the first, with a runner on 1st, he stroked a 2-run home run. His 8th home run of the season gave Detroit a 2-0 lead.

"All in all, I thought Hal pitched a fine game for us tonight," said Detroit manager Daniel Makonnen.
