Although Luis Tiant allowed only two hits, one of them was a homer by Dan Meyer that gave the Tigers a 1-0 victory over the Red Sox. The blow by the rookie outfielder in the fifth inning decided the duel in favor of Mickey Lolich, who pitched a four-hitter in gaining the 198th victory of his career. [The Sporting News]
