April 8, 1972. Detroit 5, Boston 3 (10).

This was a wild game all the way through.  Al Kaline put Detroit on the board in the top of the first with a solo HR and then Reggie Smith did him one better with a 2-run homer in the bottom of the 1st to give Boston a 2-1 lead.  Detroit clawed even in the 5th, manufacturing a run that scored on Mickey Stanley's sacrifice fly.  In the bottom of the inning Boston retook the lead. Bill Freehan's throwing error put Tommy Harper at 3rd with 1 out where he scored on a Carl Yastrzemski single to make it 3-2 Boston.

The Tigers tied it in the 6th on a Dick McAuliffe RBI double ,but despite loading the bases with 1 out, they couldn't score any more.  From there, Marty Pattin and the Tiger bullpen just kept getting out of trouble. 

Pattin left for a pinch-hitter in the 9th, so Bobby Bolin took over on the mound.  Jim Northrup led off the inning with a routine grounder to 2nd baseman Buddy Hunter, but Hunter couldn't field it cleanly and Northrup stayed at first, then moved to second on a Mickey Stanley single. Bolin was about to work out of it, getting Kaline to fly out and striking out Norm Cash.  Then Bill Freehan bangs out a double scoring both runners to give the Tigers their first lead since the 1st inning.  

The bottom of the 9th was a bit of a tightrope act as Chris Zachary walked the bases loaded with one out.  Manager Billy Martin brought in John Hiller who promptly got the next two outs to end it.  Boston stays winless, while Detroit's veteran laden lineup moved to 2-0.

Tigers Need Extra Frames to Get Past Red Sox The Boston Red Sox got a superb performance from pitcher Marty Pattin, but the Detroit Tigers still won the game, 5-3. Pattin threw 9.0 innings allowing 3 runs. The win was credited to Chris Zachary in relief. His record improves to 1-0. Bobby Bolin took the loss. The save went to John Hiller, number 1 for him. Detroit used the clutch hitting of Bill Freehan to capture the win. The catcher drilled a 2-run double in the top of the tenth inning to give the Tigers the lead, 5-3. For the game, Freehan had 1 single and 1 double in 5 at-bats. "I just tried to make good contact," said Freehan. Detroit goes to 2-0.
