A marathon between the Tigers and Yankees concludes in the 22nd inning when Jack Reed’s home run – his only one in the big leagues – gives New York and Jim Bouton a 9 – 7 victory. Reed replaced Joe Pepitone in the 13th. For the Tigers, Phil Regan takes the loss and Rocky Colavito has seven hits. Bobby Richardson ties a mark by going to the plate 11 times. At an even seven hours, the game is the slowest extra-inning contest in league history and it is the longest game in innings in Yankee history.

Clubs headed for the postseason tweak their rosters on the last day when they can add players and still have them be eligible for postseason play. The Giants, who are falling ever further behind the red-hot Diamondbacks, designate veterans Aaron Rowand and Miguel Tejada for assignment, eating about $15 million in salary in the process; they use the freed-up spots to activate OF Pat Burrell from the disabled list and call up IF Brett Pillfrom the minor leagues in a bid to wake up their slumbering offense.
