DETROIT-It was tough to tell the
ond place team from the fifth place
,am last night at Tiger Stadium, as the
lgers absolutely crushed the Boston
Led Sox, 12-2, in a game that wasn't as
;lose as the score indicated.
And it wasn't a game that the Red Sox
vanted to lose in their on-again, off-
gain run at the New York Yankees,
ho split a double-header with the
allar-dwelling Toronto Blue Jays.
THE BOSOX COULD have inched to
within a game of the New Yorkers, but
nstead are two games back, victimized
y a 15 hit Tiger assault and the
nasterful pitching of Dave Rozema.
Rozema lost a bid for his second con-
ecutive shutout when Jim Rice con-
ected for a meaningless two-run
Omer in the ninth.
Prior to that, it was all Detroit at the
late. Beleaguered Boston manager
on Zimmer sent four pitchers to the
hound, but none of them could halt
troit's hot bats."
DH Rusty Staub led the hit parade
oing two for three with a homer and
our RBIs. But there were plenty of
IB~bt~
Sktniwg
other heroes like Lou Whitaker, Aurelio
Rodriguez and Ron LeFlore, to name a
few. That trio accounted for five hits,
six RBIs and seven runs scored bet-
ween them.
SUPPORTED BY an air-tight defen-
se to go along with the offensive show,
Rozema (9-10) tossed a six-hitter in
going the distance for the seventh time
in his last eight outings. The befuddled
Boston batsmen were hitting
everything into the ground, as eviden-
ced by the 15 put-outs at first base.
Rick Burleson and Jerry Remy began
the game by scratching singles to put
Rozema into a jam. But the slender
right-hander mowed down Rice, Carl
Yastrzemski and Carlton Fisk to end
Boston's biggest threat until the final
inning. The Tigers immediately showed
that they appreciated Rozema's pit-
ching, nicking Red Sox starter Mike
Torrez with a run on two hits in their
half of the first.
With one down, Whitaker sliced a
stand-up double into the rightfield cor-
ner. Staub stepped up and knocked in
his 112th run of the year with a bouncer
into centerfield. That RBI total, second
only to Rice's 131, was to rise to 115
later on as Staub's three-run homer
highlighted a six-run Tiger outburst in
the seventh.
WITH THAT one run cushion, Rozema
became virtually untouchable, retiring
24 out of the next 26 Red Sox. Remy was
the only one to do much damage,
coming up with four of the Red Sox hits.
Meanwhile, the Tigers picked up two
more runs in the fourth with the help of
the shodldy Boston infield. Detroit
parlayed one error, two singles and one
double into a 3-0 advantage.
After coming up empty on a bases-
loaded, no-out situation in thefifth,
Whitaker broke the game open with a
three-run homer in the sixth to make it
6-0.
Adding insult to injury, the Tigers
scored six more times in the seventh,
sending ten men to the plate to the
delight of the 16,689 fans. The big blows
in the frame were a two-run double by
LeFlore and Staub's three-run homer.
The Red Sox will attempt to get back
onto the trail of the Yankees tonight
when they close out the four game
series with the Tigers. Dennis Ecker-
sley will pitch for Boston while the
Tigers, attempting to gain a split in the
series, and only their fourth victory
over the Red Sox all year, will counter
with Milt Wilcox.

TORONTO - Toronto's Rick Bosetti
and Bob Bailor hammered successive
triples in the second inning yesterday,
knocking New York ace Ron Guidry out
of the game and pacing the Blue Jays to
an 8-1 victory over the Yankees in the
first game of a doubleheader.
Guidry, who had lost only twice in 24
decisions, lasted just 1% innings again-
st a fired-up Toronto team. The Blue
Jays got 13 hits in support of Mike
Willis, 3-6, who was making his first
start of the season.

CHICAGO - Righthander Mike
Krukow fired a four-hitter and Bill
Buckner drove in two runs with a single
and a sacrifice fly to help the Chicago
Cubs to a 5-1 victory over the Pit-
tsburgh Pirates yesterday.
The triumph snapped Pittsburgh's
seven-game winning streak and pushed
the Pirates two games off the pace set
by the Philadelphia Phillies in the
National League East.

MONTREAL - Greg Luzinski and
Mike Schmidt hit back-to-back home

Philadelphia Phillies downed the Mon-
treal Expos 4-2 last night.
Randy Lerch, 10-8, scattered eight
hits, including a two-run homer by Tony
Perez, before getting relief help in the
ninth from Ron Reed.
