At the shores of the Great Lake Erie, the Athletics do battle with the Indians. Both teams stumbled out if the gate, each with a solitary win each. Kaycee looks to end their 4 game losing streak, sending Jim Nash who won 12 of 13 games as a rookie. He looks to match his strong opening day effort. His opponent, Sonny Siebert makes his 1967 debut.
Today’s game started strangely, as Siebert airmailed a throw to first allowing Bert Campaneris to reach. Rattled, Sonny walked Hershberger. Cater fouled outs but the Glider, Ed Charles singled in the only run the visitors would ever need. Siebert recovered by fanning the next 2 to leave two stranded. Bottom 1, the Tribe looked to even the score or better. Vic Davallilo singled and one out later, raced to third in a single by Hinton. Whitfield lined your short for out #2. Nash nicked Leon Wagner’s uniform loading the bases. Duke Sims fanned, leaving the bases full failing in Cleveland’s best chance to score. The next six innings were very uneventful for both teams, the A’s clinging onto their slim lead. Top 7, Jim Gosger legged out a three bagger. Siebert then whiffed Ken Suarez then Nash grounded to third, looking like he could escape down just one. Next batter Campaneris beat one toward shortstop that should have ended the inning but Larry Brown booted it for a run. Nash cruised the rest of the way whiffing three of the last four he faced keeping his record unblemished with a 4 hit shutout, dominating the home club.
