Claudell Washington observed his last day as a teenager by collecting five hits and driving in three runs in the Athletics' 10-5 victory over the Tigers. The rookie outfielder batted in his first run of the game with a double in the sixth inning. Jesus Alou homered in the seventh and after Sal Bando was safe on an error and Gene Tenace walked, Washington sent them across the plate with a triple. Reggie Jackson homered with a man on base in the eighth. Al Kaline doubled for the Tigers in the sixth to reach a total of 2,975 hits for his career. [The Sporting News]
