1982 AL Game of Note: Det. @ NY

April 23, 1982

  New York's Dave Righetti struck out a 1982 MLB season high 14 batters tonight but still was saddled with a Loss as the Detroit Tigers defeated the Yankees 6-3. Righetti (pictured) was let down by his defense as 2 New York errors proved costly. Only 2 of Detroit's 6 runs were earned runs. The Tigers scored 4 in the 1st and 2 in the 9th. In between those innings, Righetti was mowing down the batters but still ended up with a Loss. He certainly deserved a better fate tonight.
