Held hitless by Dick Bosman until the fifth, the Tigers scored twice in that frame on singles by Ben Oglivie, Aurelio Rodriguez and Ron LeFlore, plus a sacrifice, and went on to defeat the A's, 3-1. Mickey Lolich, going the route for the Bengals, had a shutout until the sixth, when Bill North doubled and scored Oakland's only run on Sal Bando's single. The Tigers tacked on an insurance run in the ninth on a single by Bill Freehan and double by Leon Roberts. [The Sporting News]
