The Detroit Tigers belted 5 home runs, 3 by Norm Cash, defeating the Oakland A's 6-5. In the second inning, Detroit pulled off a baseball rareity when they hit back-back-back home runs off A's starter Chuck Dobson. Cash led off the inning, hitting his 24th homer of the year. Willie Horton was up next and he connected for a monster blast into the left field upper deck. Bill Freehan followed Horton and he put one in the seats. Cash hit a 2 run homer in his next AB but the A's came back to tie the game at 5. Then, in the bottom of the 8th, Cash hit his 3rd home run of the game, a 2 out shot off tough lefty Darold Knowles. That run held up to be the game winner for the Tigers. |

Norm Cash cracked 3 homeruns and had 4 RBI as the Detroit Tigers beat the
Oakland A's by a score of 6 to 5.
It seemed that Oakland pitching was serving up softballs for Cash to hit. He
blasted a solo shot in the 2nd inning, blasted a two-run home run in the 3rd
inning and lofted a solo-blast 'downtown' (his 26th of the season) in the 8th
inning. Detroit had 9 hits for the afternoon.
The win was credited to Dean Chance(6-7) who went 1 and 1/3 innings allowing
no runs. Chance got help from Fred Scherman who was credited with his 10th
save. Darold Knowles(2-2) was the loser in relief.
'They made a couple of mistakes and I took full advantage,' Cash said 'next
time I'm sure they'll pitch me tougher.'
