Parrish followed with a single. Lentine
then belted a triple to center, scoring
the tworunners and putting the Bengals
in front, 3-2.
That lead held up until the eighth in-
ning, when the Angel bats erupted for
four runs. Little Fred Patek led off with
a triple, and then Rod Carew (who had
pinch-hit for California catcher Don
Whitmer) singled. Angel manager Jim
Fregosi then inserted Bert Campaneris
to run for Carew, and he scampered
around to score on a double by Larry
Harlow..
THAT SPELLED the end for Schat-
zeder, who was replaced by Aurelio
Lopez.
After he struck out the first Angel to
face him, Don Baylor cracked a two-
run homer, boosting the Angel lead to 6-
3.
Detroit rallied for two runs in their
half of the eighth, however, as Wocken-
fuss tripled and came home on a single
by Parrish.
After Andy Hassler replaced Clear,
pinch hitter Richie Hebner singled
moving Parrish to third. Lentine then
bounced into a double play, but the
grounder was enough to score Parrish.
BUT THAT WAS all the Tigers could
muster, as they slipped further down
the line in the American League East.
The night was particularly
frustrating for Tiger third-baseman
Tom Brookens who fanned three times,
in addition to some questionable play in
the field.
The-Tigers have seen their attendan-
ce figures drop steadily on their current
homestand, where they are now 2-5.

Toronto batters and was within nine
outs of a perfect game when light-

Jays' seventh by driving Langford's
first pitch over the right field fence for
his second home run of the year.

his 10th homer of the year for a 4-0 lead
as the A's scored once in each of the fir-
st four innings against loser Dave Stieb,
10-8.
