Walt Terrell shut down the Minnesota batters on just 1 hit as the seemingly
unstoppable Detroit Tigers ballclub embarrassed the Minnesota Twins by the
count of 10 to 0.
Terrell(14-6) was tremendous on the mound for Detroit. He was stingy on the
mound, allowing just 1 hit and no walks in 9 innings. Detroit finished with
12 hits in the victory.
Bert Blyleven(14-9) took the loss. He surrendered 5 runs and 4 hits in 2/3 of
an inning. Detroit added another win to their now very impressive winning
streak. Sparky Anderson held court after the contest, 'Everything is coming
up aces right now. It is important for our team to ride this wave as long as
we can. Every win is important.'
