Detroit (Thu., Aug. 7, 1975) - Don Baylor slugged two home runs and had six RBI, and the Baltimore Orioles used an eight-run second inning to more than back up the pitching of Mike Cuellar, beating the Tigers 11-0 at Tiger Stadium Thursday night.
The Orioles sent 13 men to the plate in the second inning, plating eight runs on seven hits. Strangely, that was the only inning Baltimore scored or got a hit until the seventh.
But it was more than enough for Cuellar, the 38-year-old lefty. Cuellar limited the Tigers to six base hits, walking one and striking out four in the complete game shutout.
Baylor lofted a three-run homer into the left field upper deck in the second off Detroit starter Vern Ruhle, then added an RBI single later in the same inning. Baylor then registered his fifth and sixth RBI of the night with a two-rum homer in the seventh that went even further than the first four-bagger he hit.
Seven of the nine Orioles in the starting lineup scored at least one run.
The Tigers (47-66) have lost two straight on the heels of a four-game winning streak.
The Major Said: "In the course of 162 games, you're going to get your (butt) kicked from time to time. Tonight it was our turn, apparently. That's just the way it is."
