Page Twelve THE SUMMER DAILY Wednesday, August 8, 1973 PERRY, HILLER HURL SHUTOUT IN NIGHTCAP i'ers spl't w'th A's By The Associated Press DETROIT - Jim Perry and John Hiller checked Oakland on five hits and the Detroit Tigers defeated the A's 2-0 for a split of yesterday's twilight double- header. Reggie Jackson doubled home the tie-breaking run off Mickey Lolich in the eighth inning of the opener and scored on a sacrifice fly by Gene Tenace, pacing the A's to an 8-4 triumph. Detroit Manager Billy Martin played the second game under protest because Oakland Man- ager Dick Williams didn't have position's indicated on the A's line-up card. Martin was ejected from the opener after an argu- ment with umpire Larry McCoy over a play at first base. Perry, who had lost five of his last six previous decisions, even- ed his record at 10-10. It was his 22nd career triumph over the A's, more than any other pitcher except California's Steve Barber. Detroit scored its first run in the fourth inning of the nightcap on singles by Frank Howard, Bill Freehan and Aurelio Rod- riguez. The Tigers added a run in the sixth off Paul Lindblad, 0-4, on singles by Freehan and Dick Sharon, plus a throwing error by second baseman Mike Andrews. Seven different batters drove in the eight Oakland runs in the opener. Bert Campaneris drove in two runs with a game-tying single in the fourth off Lolich, 11-11, after singles by Gene Te- nace, Jesus Alou and Ray Fosse loaded the bases. M Oakland broke a 3-3 tie with three runs in the eighth. Sal Bando opened the inning with a triple and Jackson followed with his double. Jackson continued to third when right fielder Sharon misplayed the ball for an error. After reliever Bob Miller walk- ed Deron Johnson, Jackson scored on Tenace's sacrifice fly and Johnson came around on singles by Ray Fosse and Dick Green. Bill Freehan homered for De- troit in the bottom of the eighth, his third of the baseball season, but the A's picked up two in the ninth on Billy Conigliaro's sac- rifice fly and Alou's RBI single. Al Kaline also homered for Detroit. Yankees divide NEW YORK - Matty Alou drilled three hits, including a home run, leading the New York Yankees to a 3-1 victory over Texas and a split of yesterday's twi-night double-header. The Rangers took the first game 2-1 behind the five-hit pitching of Jim Bibby, who pitch- ed out of deep trouble in the ninth inning. In the opener, the Rangers scored both their runs in the second inning against Sam Mc- Dowell, 5-4. Designated hitter Alex Johnson opened with a double, Jeff Burroughs walked and Toby Harrah singled, filling the bases. A wild pitch scored one run and Jim Spencer sing- led off the glove of left fielder Roy White for the other. Bibby, 6-5, blanked the Yan- kees on three hits until Alou op- ened the ninth with a single, White walked and Bobby Murcer doubled for New York's run with none out. After Ron Blomberg was purposely passed, loading the bases, Graig Nettles lined to first baseman Spencer for an unassisted double play. Pinch hitter Thurman Munson was hit by a pitch, reloading the bases, but Felipe Alou grounded out. The Yankees obtained relief pitcher Wayne Granger from the St. Louis Cardinals yesterday for two players to be named later. Soxed royally KANSAS CITY-Lou Piniella's double with two out in the bot- tom of the 11th inning scored Rick Reichardt from second base and gave the Kansas City Royals a come-from-behind 7-6 victory over the Boston Red Sox last night. With the score tied 1-1, the Red Sox broke loose for five runs in the top of the fourth. But the Royals got three of them back in the bottom of the inning, then tied it in the sixth on Fred Pa- tek's fourth home run of the baseball season, Cookie Rojas' single and Reichardt's triple. Reichardt started the Royals' winning two-out rally against Craig Skok, 0-1, with a single to left and Hal McRae kept it go- ing with a single to left-center before Piniella doubled to the right field corner.
