The Wednesday Fungo: July 3

July 3, 1984: White Sox 9 – Tigers 5

W: Tom Seaver (7-6) – L: Jack Morris (12-5) – S: Ron Reed (4) | Boxscore

Record: 55-24 — 8 games up Toronto

Highlights

• The Tigers lost their third-consecutive game for the first time since the Memorial Day sweep at the hands of the Mariners.

• Morris fooled no one and Seaver was not much better — but good enough to win. The Cat lasted 4^1/3, giving up eight runs on nine hits. Tom Terrific allowed five earned runs on five hits — three of them homers — walked three and struck out seven.

• Lance Parrish, Ruppert Jones and Howard Johnson each took Seaver deep.
