pitching performances at the beginning of the season, getting the win over Rickey
Clark (6-2, 2.98).
New York (AL) 4
Chicago (AL) (H) 1 (GM 1)
The Yankees scored
four times in the top of the second to knock out Gary Peters
(10-3, 1.63) and to provide Al Downing
(4-6, 2.62) with all the runs he would need today.
New York (AL) 3
Chicago (AL) (H) 2 (GM 2)
Tommy John
(6-6, 3.30) was cruising along with a 2-0 lead and then the Yankees up jumped
with three runs in the seventh to grab the lead away from John. The big play
was a two-out fly ball to left center that caused Ken Berry
and Tommie
Agee to collide when chasing it, no error, but the final two runs
scoring. Fred
Talbot (3-5, 3.80) got the win with plenty of help from the New York
bullpen and extended the Yankees win streak to five games.
Minnesota 7
Cleveland (H) 4
The Indians moved
ahead early, but this time the Twins were able to respond. Ted
Uhlaender hit a two-run homerun (1) in the fifth to tie the score at 3-3
and then Minnesota scored four times in the sixth to put this game away. Jim Kaat
(5-3, 2.85) got the win and Sam
McDowell (2-7. 3.53) took the loss.
Kansas City 5
Detroit (H) 2
Catfish
Hunter complained of shoulder discomfort in the third inning, so Blue Moon
Odom (4-5, 5.84) entered the game in relief, promptly gave up two runs, but
then settled down and threw four scoreless innings to hold the Tigers and give
the A's time to come back. John
Donaldson hit a two-run double in the sixth to put the A's back on top and
Kansas City went on to grab the Sunday win in Detroit.
Carl Yastrzemski did it again, this time with a two-run homerun (23) in the sixth that put the Red Sox ahead 3-1. Lee Stange (3-2, 3.22) went all the way for the win, with Phil Ortega (1-12, 3.53) coming up on the short end again.
Atlanta 2 Houston
(H) 1
Neither team had a
hit through the first six innings but then Atlanta got on the board when Miguel de
la Hoz (1) and Denis Menke
(4) hit back-to-back homeruns in the seventh. Jim Wynn
followed with a solo homerun (15) in the bottom half of the inning, killing
both the opportunity for a no-hitter or even a shutout for either team. Phil Niekro
(3-3, 2.40) went all the way for the win over Don Wilson
(6-4, 3.29).
Los Angeles (H) 7
Cincinnati 2
A four-run seventh
blew open a tight game and allowed Claude
Osteen (7-5, 3.56) to get the win. The Reds were forced by injuries to
start Tony
Perez at second base as some of their bench players are otherwise banged up
at the moment.
New York (NL) (H) 12
Chicago (NL) 11 (GM 1) (15)
What a game! Tommy Davis
drove home three runs with a double in the first for a quick Mets lead, but
then the Cubs scored five times in the third and took a 6-3 lead. New York came
back, scoring three times in both the fifth and sixth innings, only to fall
behind when Chicago plated two in the eighth and then three in the ninth, the
runs coming on a two-out three-run homerun (5) from Billy
Williams. Of course, the Mets scored a run in the bottom of the ninth and
the game went into extra innings. In the bottom of the fifteenth Davis punched a
run-scoring single to give the Mets the Game One win. Williams and Ernie Banks
both had five-rbi games for the Cubs, as well as Davis for the Mets. 39 hits
and 23 runs, and there is still one game to go before the day is over for these
two teams.
In a complete opposite of Game One, two tired teams struggled through the game, with a two-run homerun off the bat of Ken Boyer in the bottom of the eighth being the only runs in Game Two. Tom Seaver (6-5, 2.82) went all the way for the shutout victory, while newly acquired Rob Gardner (0-1, 1.59) took the loss in his first start of the season.
Philadelphia (H) 2
Pittsburgh 1
Following his
no-hitter Rick
Wise (3-1, 2.95) had another strong start, going all the way for the
complete-game victory. Tommie Sisk
(3-5, 3.35) gave up a two-run double to Gene Oliver
in the sixth and that was all Wise and the Phillies needed today.
St. Louis 7 San
Francisco (H) 3
Back-to-back two-run
doubles by Tim
McCarver and Mike
Shannon keyed the Cardinals five-run sixth and Dick Hughes
(4-4, 3.20) got the win. The Giants loaded the bases in both the eighth and
ninth innings but were unable to get a clutch hit in both situations.
