Mickey Lolich, starting in place of suspended ace Denny McLain, hurled a seven-hit shutout Detroit whipped Washington, 5 to 0, in the ceremonial American league opener before President Nixon. Lolich, a 19-game winner last year but overshadowed by the flamboyant McLain, struck out 10 and worked his way out of jams with the bases loaded twice in the rain-delayed, four-hour marathon in near-freezing weather.
