| The Detroit Tigers were unable to solve A's starting pitcher Blue Moon Odom and lost game 2 of this 3 game series against Oakland 3-1. But then again, nobody has been able to solve Odom this year. He got his 10th straight win of the season and is now 10-0 in 10 starts with 8 complete games. His era stands at 1.64. Right fielder Reggie Jackson hit a 2-run homer in the 1st off Tiger starter Earl Wilson and that would prove to be all the Athletics would need to defeat Detroit. Denny McLain will face off against Jim 'Catfish' Hunter in tomorrow afternoon's rubber game of the series. |

Blue Moon Odom had a complete game as the Oakland Athletics outscored the
Detroit Tigers 3 to 1.
Oakland set the tone of the game in the first inning scoring 2 runs on 2 hits.
Campy Campaneris led off and started the rally when he lashed a single.
Mike Hershberger came to the plate and laid down a sacrifice bunt. Reggie
Jackson then lifted one out of the park for a two run home run. One out
later, Danny Cater got his turn next, but he was a strikeout victim. That
early scoring was all that Odom(10-0) needed. Oakland finished with 7 hits
in the victory.
The loss was charged to Earl Wilson(5-4). He pitched 6 innings allowing 6
hits and 2 walks.
