Detroit (Sat., Sept. 20, 1975) - Carl Yastrzemski had three hits and scored three runs, Rico Petrocelli had four RBI, and Luis Tiant pitched a complete game shutout as the Boston Red Sox stymied the Tigers, 7-0, at Tiger Stadium.
The Red Sox squared the weekend series at a game apiece.
Tiant was masterful, scattering eight hits and walking one.
The Red Sox scored twice in the first inning, twice in the seventh, and three times in the ninth to hand the Tigers (60-94) their 30th loss in their past 43 games.
Tigers starter Mickey Lolich (14-16) went 8-plus innings, giving up 12 hits and five runs, three earned.
Petrocelli had a two-run single in the first, an RBI single in the seventh, and even drove in a run in the ninth by getting hit by a pitch.
Yastrzemski had three singles, walked, and reached base on an error.
Ron LeFlore had two singles for Detroit, but was caught stealing in the third with the score just 2-0, Boston. The caught stealing canceled an error by Rick Burleson that put LeFlore on first base.
Rookies Bob Molinaro (RF) and Jerry Manuel (2B) started, but went 0-for-7 between them.
The Major Said: "Tiant was as good as I've seen him. We got eight hits but nothing hit real hard and we couldn't really bunch them."
