Athletics Not Competitive in 7-0 Loss to Detroit
All went well for Walter Johnson of the Detroit Tigers as he pitched his team to a 7-0 shutout victory over the Philadelphia Athletics, limiting them to 6 hits. In the postgame interview, both managers had glowing things to say about Johnson on the day.

"Walter's got a good selection of pitches he can throw at a guy," said Tigers manager Rick Phillips. "He changes speed, gives different looks to different hitters. When he's on his game, he's quite a handful."

In the contest, the Detroit right-hander rang up 8 and surrendered 2 walks.

"He didn't give us any second chances," said Athletics manager Dave Jackson. "It's a guessing game with him and today we were always guessing wrong."

His record for the year is 11-2 in 16 starts and Johnson has a 2.51 ERA.
