Oakland, CA (Wed., Aug. 20, 1975) - Sonny Siebert and Jim Todd combined to shutout the Tigers on three hits, and the Oakland A's beat Detroit, 4-0 on Wednesday afternoon, the Tigers' 10th straight loss and 13th in their past 14 games.
Siebert went seven innings, surrendering just two hits, and Todd pitched the eighth and ninth.
Ray Bare (4-7) was the latest hard-luck loser for the Tigers (48-77), pitching all eight innings and only giving up four hits. A three-run first inning doomed Bare, despite recovering and finishing the game.
The Tigers managed to get just two base runners to second base the entire game in suffering their third straight three-game sweep. Two of the losses in Oakland were shutouts.
Gene Tenace was again poison to the Tigers, with three RBI, all on his first inning, bases-loaded double. Tenace drove in the game-winning run in the eighth inning on Tuesday night.
The Major Said: "Three hits. You're not going to win very many games with three hits. What else can I say?"
