Wilbur Wood, who won 24 games and lost 20 with the White Sox last season, saw his current record drop to 2-5 when the veteran knuckleballer was kayoed in the third inning and lost to the Tigers, 6-4. The Tigers started with two runs in the first inning on a single by Gary Sutherland and doubles by Mickey Stanley and Willie Horton, but the White Sox came back with a two-run homer by Dick Allen.
