Lance Parrish launched 2 homeruns and Milt Wilcox was on top of his game,
blanking Oakland on just 2 hits as the Oakland A's were badly beaten by the
Detroit Tigers, 10 to 0.
 
Parrish had a big day with his bat.  He smashed a two-run homer in the 1st
inning and launched a Grand Slam homerun in the 2nd inning.  Detroit had 8
hits for the afternoon.  
 
Wilcox(5-3) went the distance for the shutout. Mike Norris(5-5) absorbed the
loss.  'I had my good stuff today.' Wilcox said. 'As the game went along I
started to get the feeling that I was going to strike out a bunch of
hitters.'
