New York (Tue., July 29, 1975) - Doc Medich twirled 7.1 innings of shutout ball, Sparky Lyle finished it up, and the New York Yankees beat the Tigers, 4-0, at Shea Stadium Tuesday night.
Medich scattered seven hits, walked three and struck out two.
The Yankees scored a single run in the first inning and added three insurance runs in the eighth.
Thurman Munson, who was 4-for-4 on Monday, had two hits and two RBI for New York.
The Tigers (42-60) got just one runner to second base all evening.
Rookie Billy Baldwin made his big league debut for Detroit, batting third and playing right field. He went 1-for-3.
Jack Pierce went 0-for-3 and his hitless streak has extended to 26 at-bats.
Joe Coleman (3-14) started and went seven-plus innings for the Tigers.
The three-game series is squared at a victory each and will conclude Wednesday night. Two lefties are scheduled to start: Mickey Lolich for Detroit and Rudy May for New York.
The Major Said: "Couldn't do much with Doc, though we had some base runners. It was a 1-0 game most of the night so a big hit or two, and the result might have been different."
