AL Game: Det. @ KC

 May 10, 1973

  Norm Cash and the Detroit Tigers really laid it on the Kansas City Royals tonight 14-3. Detroit had been having trouble scoring runs the past week. That all changed in today's ballgame that saw the Tigers pound out 20 hits. Cash led the attack going 3 for 5 with 2 homeruns and 7 RBI. The 7 RBI are the most by any player in one game in the AL this season. Joe Coleman pitched decently for Detroit and improved his record to 6-1.

run in the 2nd inning, lofted a three-run bomb in the 6th inning and clubbed
a three-run home run in the 7th inning.  Detroit kept the scorekeepers busy
in the 2nd inning which saw them score 6 runs on 6 hits and the 6th inning

Third baseman Bill Melton blasted 3 homeruns and had 6 RBI as the Chicago
White Sox topped the Kansas City Royals by a score of 11 to 4 at Kaufmann
Stadium.
 
Melton was in a groove all day.  The Kansas City fans hated to see him
approaching the batter's box.  He blasted a two-run home run in the 1st
inning, lined a one-base hit which brought home a run in the 3rd inning,
smashed a solo-shot out of the park in the 6th inning and lifted one out of
the park for a two run home run in the 7th inning.  Chicago finished with 14
hits in the victory.  
 
The win was credited to Wilbur Wood(4-0) who went 8 innings allowing 4 runs.
Dick Drago(1-2) was the loser.  He served up 3 gopher balls in 5 and 2/3
innings.  
 
'I've spent a lot of time in the cage and made some adjustments and they've
paid off,' Melton said. 'I just take the same approach up there. I don't
overanalyze it. I go up there, see the ball and try to put a good swing on
it.'

Left fielder Willie Horton cracked 2 homeruns and had 3 RBI as the Detroit
Tigers defeated the Boston Red Sox by a score of 12 to 6 at Fenway
Park.
 
Horton was a thorn in the side of the hometown fans as he enjoyed a fine day
at their team's expense.  He clubbed a two-run home run in the 1st inning,
hit a single in the 2nd inning, cracked a solo homerun in the 5th inning,
slapped a one-base hit in the 7th inning and ripped a base-knock in the 8th
inning.  Overall Detroit out-hit Boston 16 to 7.  
 
The victory was credited to Joe Coleman(3-0) who went 7 innings, allowing 5
runs. Lynn McGlothen(0-1) ended up with the loss.  Horton was in a good mood
after the game, 'I'm just seeing and hitting the ball real well now.  I made
some adjustments last week and they are paying off.  That's what this game is
about. making adjustments as the season goes along.'
