GAME 1
Mickey Lolich mowed through the Boston order with ease for 6 Innings holding the Sox to just 1 run. Meanwhile, the Tigers jumped out to a quick lead against Red Sox Starter Sonny Siebert by scoring 2 runs in the 2nd and 4 runs in the 3rd on a 3-Run Shot by Al Kaline that chased Siebert and a Solo Shot by Rusty Staub off of Reliever Reggie Cleveland. The Sox finally got to Lolich & rallied for 4 Runs in the Top of the 7th to close the gap to 6-5. It was a 2-Run Shot by Jim Rice that had Mickey heading to the shower. But the Tigers put 2 on the board in the bottom half courtesy of Norm Cash 2 Run HR & Tom Timmerman & John Hiller pitched strong in relief to close it out as Detroit wins the opener 8-5 at home.
