Detroit (Sun., Sept. 14, 1975) - Doug DeCinces had three hits and five RBI, including a three-run homer, and the Baltimore Orioles routed the Tigers, 13-1, at Tiger Stadium.
The Orioles turned a 2-1 game after four innings into a romp, scoring 11 runs from the fifth through eighth innings. DeCinces' home run provided the last of those runs on the night for Baltimore, who took the weekend series, 2-1.
Tigers starter Ray Bare (6-10) went five innings, giving up six runs on eight hits. After Bare left, the bullpen duo of Gene Pentz and Fernando Arroyo surrendered seven more runs between them in three innings of work.
The Orioles banged out 16 hits off Tigers pitching, including three hits each from DeCinces, Al Bumbry and Mark Belanger.
Baltimore starter Mike Cuellar pitched a complete game as the Tigers (57-92) managed just five hits. The loss was the 28th in the past 38 games for Detroit.
The Major Said: "The Orioles can do that at any time. They have been swinging the bats good for the past 10 years or so. Everyone talks about their pitching over the years, but they always have a strong lineup."
