Game 133: Angels Clobber Tigers, 11-0

Detroit (Sat., Aug. 30, 1975) - The California Angels pounded out 18 hits and routed the Tigers, 11-0, Saturday at Tiger Stadium.

Bruce Bochte had a single, a double and a home run and four RBI. Adrian Garrett hit a solo home run and an RBI single.

Angels starter Chuck Hockenberry pitched six innings, and Don Kirkwood went the final three for the save as the pair limited the Tigers to five hits.

Dan Meyer had a one-out triple in the sixth, but Hockenberry retired the next two hitters to keep the shutout alive.

Tigers reliever Dave Lemanczyk was especially torched, surrendering seven runs and seven hits in one full inning of work. Starter Ray Bare (4-9) took the loss, his fourth straight.

The score was a respectable 4-0 until the eighth, when the Angels scored three times. They added four in the ninth. All seven runs were charged to Lemanczyk.

The Tigers (52-81) are 5-17 in their past 22 games.

The Major Said: "11-0. What can I say? Sometimes you get your (butt) kicked in this game. It happens."
