Game 2 of the weekend sporting a classic pitching matchup of twos of the preeminent left handlers of the American League. After the slugfest of last night, can these two silence the offense? Lolich enters the game after a pair of 13 strikeout shutout wins. Kaat for his part, had two very effective starts himself.
Well Lolich’s shutout streak lasted three batters as the first three Twins singled giving them the lead. Bottom 4, the Bengals put 2 on but yesterday’s star Norm Cask whiffed. Top 5, Twins put two singles together but usually good hitting Kaat grounded out. Lolich, in fact, retired the last 17 he faced and still was looking at a defeat. Bottom 9 Kaline worked a walk and with 2 outs was off with the crack of the bat scoring from first on a double by Bill Freehan tying the game. Twins managed just one single in extra frames while the Tigers had better opportunities, stranding a Don Wert double in the 19th and two on, Gus free oases, in the 11th. Bottom 13, Rick McAuliffe ended the marathon with a blast into the upper deck overhang in right off Al Worthington, securing the series win for the hone club.
