1982 AL Game: Det. @ Bal. Morris Wins 20th

September 20, 1982

  Detroit's Jack Morris won his 20th game of the season tonight in Baltimore as the Tigers defeated the Orioles 4-0. It was the Jack's 4th try at winning his 20th and he became the 2nd pitcher in the AL this season to reach the milestone. The Tigers scored 2 runs in the 1st inning off Jim Palmer when Lance Parrish smashed his 33rd homerun of the year. That would be all the runs Morris would need for his complete game shutout of the Orioles. Detroit's Magic # is now down to 6.
