Detroit Tiger Al Kaline hit for the cycle tonight, leading his team to a dramatic 6-5 victory over the Baltimore Orioles. The Orioles had taken the lead in the 8th inning before Kaline's heroics in the bottom of the 9th. Having already singled, doubled and tripled in the game, Kaline came up to bat with 2 outs and a runner on 1st in the bottom of the 9th. The Tigers trailed 5-4. Kaline proceeded to blast a mammoth homerun into the upperdeck in rightfield, completing the cycle and giving his team a 6-5 win.

Center fielder Al Kaline hit for the cycle and had 2 RBI at Tiger Stadium as
the Detroit Tigers came back dramatically to top the Baltimore Orioles by the
score of 6 to 5.
 
Detroit had the winning rally in the bottom of the 9th inning plating 2 runs
using 2 hits.  Mickey Stanley kicked off the action when he stroked a
one-base hit.  Two outs later Kaline stepped in and he lifted one out of the
park for a two run home run making Detroit victorious to the delight of the
the home town crowd.  Detroit and Baltimore each finished the night with 11
hits.  
 
The win went to Johnny Podres(1-2) who allowed no runs in 1 and 2/3 innings.
Stu Miller(3-3) was given the loss in relief.  He allowed 2 runs and 2 hits
in 1 and 2/3 innings.  
 
'Wow, that was fun!', Podres said following the game.  'Once in a while you
play a game that reminds you just why you got into this business to begin
with!'
