. . . where the 1970s live forever!

Two homers by Gary Sutherland carried the Tigers to a 3-1 victory over the Athletics behind the pitching of Woodie Fryman and John Hiller. Fryman, a winner for the first time this season, allowed only three hits before giving way to Hiller with two men on base and one out in the seventh inning. Sutherland homered off Catfish Hunter in the fourth and followed with his second drive in the sixth. The Tigers then strung together consecutive singles by Al Kaline, Willie Horton and Jim Northrup for another run. The A's scored in their half of the sixth on a walk to Angel Mangual, infield out and double by Bill North. [The Sporting News]
