Detroit (Fri., July 25, 1975) - The Cleveland Indians used a five-run seventh inning to break open a 3-2 game and defeated the Tigers, 8-2, Friday at Tiger Stadium.
Charlie Spikes' bases-loaded double plated three and was the inning's big blow. The uprising occurred against reliever Bob Reynolds, though Ray Bare (3-3) took the loss.
Bill Freehan (8) hit a two-run homer in the second inning to account for Detroit's offense. It was Freehan's fourth home run in the past two weeks.
Indians starter Don Hood handcuffed the Tigers in 7+ innings of strong work, scattering seven hits.
Boog Powell had three hits and scored twice for Cleveland, who scored three times in the fourth inning to erase a 2-0 deficit.
The Tigers (39-58) have lost two straight after a 5-1 stretch.
The Major Said: "We didn't do much. They (Indians) swung the bats well, got lots of clutch hits. End of story."
