Game 91: Bare Spins Shutout; Tigers Win, 2-0

Detroit (Sun., July 20, 1975) - Ray Bare pitched a complete game, six-hit shutout, leading the Tigers to a 2-0 win over the Kansas City Royals Sunday at Tiger Stadium.

Bare walked two and struck out three in keeping the Royals at bay.

Gary Sutherland hit a solo home run and Ben Oglivie doubled home a run to account for the Tigers (36-55) offense.

Bare (3-2) only allowed two Royals runners past first base.

Oglivie's RBI double occurred in the third, while Sutherland connected off Kansas City starter Nelson Briles in the fifth inning.

The win was just the Tigers' sixth in their past 19 games.

The Major Said: "Well, Ray was terrific, obviously. We've wasted a lot of efforts like that this year, so it was good to see Ray get rewarded. He was great today."
