Mickey Lolich took a no-hitter into the 6th inning at Cleveland Stadium as the
Detroit Tigers beat the Cleveland Indians by the count of 3 to
0.
 
Lolich(16-3) escaped virtually unscathed against the Cleveland hitters. He
didn't allow much, just 1 hit and 1 walk in 9 innings.  The left-handed
Lolich lost his no-hit bid when Dick Tidrow singled with one out in the 6th
inning.  The Cleveland batters didn't put up a fight in the bottom of the
9th.  
 
Tidrow(7-8) took the loss.  Ken Aspromonte lamented, 'Lolich was really
aggressive tonight.  He kept coming after our hitters.  Heck, why not. he
kept sitting our guys down one after another - like so many bowling pins!'
