The Yankees scored three runs on a homer by Johnny Callison in the first inning and added two on a single by Bobby Murcer in the third. Trailing, 5-1, the Tigers began their rally in the eighth with a run on singles by Willie Horton, Al Kaline and Duke Sims to kayo Steve Kline. Frank Howard, pinch-hitting, greeted Lyle's arrival with a run-scoring single and, after a walk, Mickey Stanley hit a sacrifice fly to make it 5-4. In the ninth, Ed Brinkman and Horton singled and Tony Taylor was safe on a bunt that the Yankees let roll. Kaline came through with a sacrifice fly to tie the score and Sims followed with a single to drive in the winning run.

The Oakland A's take a 2-0 lead in the 1972 American League Championship Series with a 5-0 win over the Detroit Tigers at Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum. Jim Odom pitches a complete game three hit shut out and Bert Campaneris is the hitting star for the A's as he scores two runs and goes three for three. Woody Fryman is the loser for the Tigers. Announcers are Curt Gowdy and Tony Kubek. NOTE: INCLUDES BERT CAMPANERIS / LERRIN LaGROW BRAWL. Bert Campaneris Bat Throwing Incident: 1972 ALCS In 1972, LaGrow had a 1.32 earned run average (Adjusted ERA+ of 240) in 16 games. He also pitched 1 scoreless inning in Game 2 of the 1972 American League Championship Series against the Oakland Athletics. LaGrow's single inning led to one of the most memorable moments of the 1972 ALCS. In the bottom of the 7th inning, Bert Campaneris came to bat, having had 3 hits, 2 runs scored, and 2 stolen bases in his first 3 at bats in the game. LaGrow's first pitch hit Campaneris in the ankle. Campaneris staggered for a moment, glared at LaGrow and then flung his bat toward LaGrow. The bat spiraled at LaGrow five feet off the ground, but LaGrow ducked, and the bat narrowly missed LaGrow, landing a few feet behind the mound. A bench-clearing brawl ensued, and Tigers manager Billy Martin had to be restrained by umpires and teammates to prevent him from going after Campaneris. Both LaGrow and Campaneries were suspended for the rest of the ALCS.
