Tigers 5 (7-5), Athletics 0
A four run first inning and some great pitching by Joe Sparma helped the Tigers win their series opener with the A’s. Sparma threw a five hit shuout in which he walked four and struck out six. He improved to 1-0 on the season.
Five different Tigers drove in the five runs. Dick McAuliffe led the way and he went one for two with a homerun, two walks, two runs and an RBI.
