The Tigers, who obtained Dave Roberts from the Astros, made that winter deal look better than ever when the lefthander pitched his second straight two-hitter and defeated the Athletics, 8-1. The victory was the third straight for Roberts, who had easy sailing after the Tigers exploded for six runs in the third inning.
