Red Sox 2, Tigers 0 (30-19)
A pretty good start by Mickey Lolich went to waste as the Tigers dropped the first game of their doubleheader with the Red Sox. Lolich gave up two runs on just two hits but he walked six with four strikeouts in seven innings. For his efforts, he fell to 3-3.
The Tigers actually outhit the Red Sox 3-2 but that wasn’t saying much. Gate Brown got the start in left and he was the only Tiger to reach base twice with a single and a walk.

The Tigers returned the favor and Pat Dobson shut out the Red Sox on just five hits in the second game of their doubleheader. Dobson picked up his first win of the season and he gave up the five hits and two walks with four strikeouts.
The Tigers scored both of their runs in the seventh frame. Don Wert belted a solo homer, his sixth of the season. Norm Cash was the only Tiger with more then one hit and he had a pair of singles.
