Worth noting

• Monday marked the 43rd anniversary of Gene Lamont's first Major League home run, hit at Fenway Park in his first big league at-bat. Lamont, Detroit's top pick in the Draft five years earlier, hit a solo shot off Boston's Cal Koonce in the third inning of the second game of a doubleheader. It was the only run Koonce allowed in a complete-game three-hitter.
