So, in danger of slipping a notch fur- ther away from California in the tight AL race, the Rangers brought out the heavy artillery at Tiger Stadium last night, bombarding Detroit 16-9 in the opener of the second straight twinbill between the two teams. Ageless Fergusen Jenkins picked up the win for Texas, going eight innings in what could only be described as a pit- cher's dream. Jenkins' teammates ex- ploded for four quick first inning runs off Tiger starter and loser Pat Under- wood, now 6-3, and never came close to trailing as the durable righthander up- ped his record to 11-8. BUT THE Tigers didn't exactly roll over and play dead for Jenkins, rapping out 11 hits, including homerun shots by Champ Summers and Steve Kemp, who remains the junior circuit's second leading hitter. It wasn't nearly enough though, as Texas showeredDetroit with 17 hits, the big blow coming off the bats of third baseman Eric Soderholm, who had two homeruns - one of them a three-run blast - and Al Oliver and Micky Rivers, who chipped in a circuit clout apiece. Soderholm continued, as he has throughout his big league career, to feast on Tiger pitching, picking-up a base hit along with his homers and going three-for-four.' OLIVER meanwhile, upset at playing leftfield since the Rangers' acquisition of Rivers, helped to seal the Tigers' fate with a double anda single to go with his solo shot off reliever John Hiller in the sixth inning. For Underwood, early Ranger hits spelled a not-so-welcome chance to cool off from the muggy heat with a clubhouse shower. Rivers led off the game with a double, and then sped home on shortstop Buddy Bell's two-base shot. Oliver then worked Underwood for a walk and scored on Richie Zisk's single, with Zisk then being tagged out trying for second. Soderholm then cranked his seventh home run of the season to make it4-0. THAT WAS IT for Underwood, Tiger manager Sparky Anderson sending in Steve Baker, who finally retired the hit happy Rangers. The Tigers answered back with two in their half of the second, on a walk to Champ Summers, a perfect hit-and-run single to right by Jerry Morales and catcher Lance Parrish's line drive double down the leftfield line. The Rangers had their guns ready, nicking the Tiger arms for two more in the third inning, then following that with three in the fifth, five in the sixth and single runs in the seventh and eighth.
