Detroit cruises into the Chesapeake region fresh off a very successful homestand. Their best pitcher so far this early season will toss against youngster Wally Bunker, a 22 year old with three complete seasons under his belt already.
The Bengals brought their sticks with them, breaking out early although it was the wildness of Bunker that provided the opportunity as he walked the bases loaded. He managed to get Northrup looking but Cash hooker one into right for a pair and 2-0 lead. The O’s halved the lead as Aparicio, who singled, raced home on a triple by a Frank Robby. Bunker escaped a bases loaded predicament by getting Kaline to fly to center. He was not as lucky in the 3rd. He walked Northrup and Cash crushed one to right center making it 4-1. Detroit tacked one in in the 7th off Eddie Fisher, singles by Northrup and Cash filled the corners allowing Freehan’s deep fly to center to sucker a run. Lolich scattered six hits the rest of the way going the route once again notching has third win.
Norm Cash leads the Junior Circuit with 15 RBIs. Lolich has gone at least 9 innings in each of his starts this season. Frank Robinson fell a homer short of the cycle.
