Aurelio Rodriguez, who singled and scored on his first two trips to the plate, also smashed a homer to pace the Tigers to a 6-2 victory over the Rangers. Rodriguez scored in the first inning on a double by Bill Freehan. After Rodriguez singled again in the third, Freehan walked and Norm Cash drove in both runners with a double. Rodriguez homered in the seventh. [The Sporting News] Detroit Tigers 6, Texas Rangers 2Game Played on Saturday, July 22, 1972 (Night game) at Arlington StadiumTigers 1 0 2 0 0 0 1 2 0 - 6 9 2
