1971 AL Replay- September 4 Det vs. NY


September 4, 1971

Joe Coleman picked up his 20th win of the season as Detroit defeated New York 7-2 tonight at Yankee Stadium. Joe gave up a 2 run homer to Roy White in the bottom half of the 1st but that was all the home team could muster as Coleman shut them down the rest of the way getting a complete game victory. Home runs by Norm Cash and Ike Brown as well as a 2 run double by Al Kaline powered the Detroit hitting attack.
