Trading shutouts, the Tigers won the first game of a doubleheader, 4-0, behind the four-hit pitching of Milt Wilcox, and the A's captured the second contest, 1-0, as Mike Norris hurled a four-hitter and Jeff Newman connected for a homer in the sixth inning. Kirk Gibson paced the Tigers' attack in the lidlifter with three hits, including a homer. [The Sporting News]
