First he pushed the panic button by starting Denny McClain with only two days' rest. But just when the Tigers were in danger of losing again, he hit the right one, and out popped a pair of pinch hitters who turned the ballgame around. When the wheels had stopped tur- ning, Detroit had a 6-4 victory over Washington last night and a six- game lead in the American League, as Baltimore stopped Cleveland, 8-6, and jumped back over the Indians into second place. Detroit trailed Washington, 4-3, on the strength of Frank Howard's 28th home run in the second inning and a three-run outburst in the sixth. But Phil Ortega walked Al Kaline to open the eighth, Willie Horton sacrificed him to second, and Bill Freehan also walked. Pinch hitter Jim Price singled home the tying tally against Barry Moore, and after Dave Baldwin got Norm Cash to foul out, Gates Brown, another pinch hitter, knocked in the go-ahead run with a single. The Tigers scored an insurance run in the ninth on Jim Northrup's double and a single by Kaline. The late-inning fireworks provided McLain with his 19th vic- tory, although he left in the eighth for a pinch hitter. It marked the third time this month that a Detroit starter had worked with two days' rest-a month in which the Tigers' lead had dropped from 95' to five games before last night's ac- tion-and the third time this season for McLain. "We were very fortunate," Smith said. "Maybe we needed a game like this to turn us around." The Tigers had lost eight of 12 games since the All-Star break. Smith was speaking of what tur- ned out to be the sacrifice bunt by Horton that put the tying run into position to score on Price's single. Horton had bunted on his own, and Smith said he was astounded.
