in 5 different innings was still not enough for Detroit to come away with the
victory.

victory. Slaton got help from Donnie Moore who earned his 8th save. Juan

work.

best stuff,' Gene Mauch said after the game. 'Slaton did not have command of
his pitches most of the afternoon, but he proved he really knew how to
pitch!'
