Supported by a 15-hit attack, Mickey Lolich pitched the Tigers to a 12-4 victory over the Indians before a home opening-day crowd of 46,891. Every player in the Tigers' lineup scored at least once and every player, except Cesar Gutierrez, broke into the hit column and batted in one or more runs. Norm Cash had a homer. Roy Foster collected four of the Indians' 12 hits and Ted Ford homered for his first major league hit.
