Oliva Plates
Six Big Runs
By STU C AMEN
UPI Sports Writer
It’s hard to imagine what Tony
Oliva will do for an encore once
file weather gets warmer.
Playing in the friendly, but
chilly, confines of Detroit’s
Tiger Stadium Tuesday night,
Oliva warmed the hearts of all
Minnesota followers by driving
in six runs with a homer, triple
and single while leading the
Twins to an 8-5 victory.
“I no like, it’s too cold,” said
the Cuban-born Oliva after his
hitting splurge off Tiger ace
Mickey Lolich. “My arm is
frozen,” added the two-time
American League batting
champion, as if he needed an
excuse for his performance.
Oliva’s homer, his fourth,
drove in Cesar Tovar in the
first inning; he singled home
Leo Cardenas in the third and
clinched the Twins’ third
straight triumph with a bases
loaded triple in the fifth. Luis
Tiant picked up his fifth win
without a loss with relief help
from Stan Williams and Ron
Perran oski.
In other American League
games, Chicago edged Cleve
land, 2-1, Baltimore beat
Kansas City, 7-3, Oakland
routed New York, 11-3, Boston
blanked Milwaukee, 6-0, and
Washington downed California,
6-1.

hit.
