Oakland, CA- The Oakland A's scored twice in the fourth inning, and despite 11 hits, the Tigers could only manage one run in a 2-1 loss at the Coliseum.
The Tigers (33-23) left 10 men on base as A's starter Ken Holtzman pitched out of trouble for most of his seven innings of work. The Tigers lone run came in the third, when Al Kaline singled home Tony Taylor.
The A's took two of three from the Tigers after winning Monday night and losing Tuesday.
Tigers starter Tom Timmermann (6-6) was the hard luck loser, scattering eight hits over eight innings and walking just one batter.
The 37-year-old Kaline added to his storybook season by collecting three more hits, raising his average to a league-leading .344.
Taylor also had three hits for Detroit.
