Mickey Lolich's bid for his 20th victory was wrecked by three homers as the Athletics defeated the Tigers, 6-3. Joe Rudi started the slugging with a two-run smash in the first inning. Blue Moon Odom, the A's winner, aided his own cause with a solo swat in the third and the A's then completed their scoring when Angel Mangual hit for the circuit with two men on base in the fifth.
