Detroit (Sat., July 26, 1975) - The Tigers like those 3-1 games.
They won for the fourth time out of their past seven victories by the score of 3-1, beating the Cleveland Indians Saturday in Detroit.
The win evened this four-game weekend series between the Tigers (40-58) and the Tribe.
Mickey Lolich pitched his seventh complete game, a masterful six-hitter, allowing just one Indian runner to reach second base after the third inning. The run he surrendered was unearned.
Ron LeFlore and Aurelio Rodriguez each had two hits and a run scored for Detroit, winners of six of their past nine games.
Lolich (8-12) outdueled Indians starter Dennis Eckerlsey, a 20-year-old rookie. Eckersley went 7.2 innings of six-hit baseball.
The Major Said: "They (Indians) thumped us pretty good Friday night, so it was great to see Mickey do his thing. We do tend to win low-scoring games."
