Reggie Jackson and Gene Tenace each homered with two men on base when the Athletics turned a close game into a rout by scoring nine runs in the eighth inning to trounce the Tigers, 13-3. Pat Bourque singled with the bases loaded to drive in the first two runs in the outburst. After another run scored on an error, Jackson hit his homer. Joe Rudi then walked, Phil Garner singled and Tenace added his round-tripper for the final blow. [The Sporting News]
