Scoring a total of 27 runs to set an Oakland club record for a doubleheader, the Athletics swamped the Tigers, 11-0 and 16-4. Glenn Abbott held the Tigers to three hits in the opener. Gene Tenace homered in the third inning and added two RBIs with a single in the sixth when the A's exploded for seven runs. Larry Haney hit his first homer of the season with a man on base in the ninth.

In the nightcap, the A's had two big innings, scoring nine runs in the fourth and six more in the sixth. In the fourth, Reggie Jackson and Billy Williams each homered with two aboard. Sal Bando added a solo swat in the fifth before the A's went on their other scoring spree in the sixth. [The Sporting News]
