Paul Foytack took a no-hitter into the 8th inning as the Detroit Tigers
defeated the Washington Senators by the score of 1 to 0 at Briggs
Stadium.
 
Foytack(14-10) was simply too much for the Washington batters.  He surrendered
only 1 hit and 2 walks in 9 innings.  The right-handed Foytack had his no-hit
bid broken up by Ken Aspromonte who singled with nobody out in the 8th
inning.  Detroit had only 4 hits for the night.  
 
Pedro Ramos(10-17) absorbed the loss.  He pitched 8 innings and surrendered
just 4 hits and 1 walk. 'All of my pitches were working tonight,' Foytack
said.  'I felt really good out there, and heck, I think I could have gone
longer.'
