1973 AL Game and Detroit News: Det. @ Bal.

 April 22, 1973

  My Detroit Tigers have now lost 5 in a row after getting swept in Baltimore. Today, the Tigers lost in 13 innings by the score of 4-3. After a day off, Detroit will travel to Texas for a 3-game series. The Rangers have lost 4 in a row as of late, so someone will finally put a stop their losing streak. I can only hope it's Detroit.
