Starting a weekend four spot in the Bronx before winging it home to SoCal, the Angels take on the Bronx Bombers with both teams looking to right their ships.
After showing a paltry offense recently, the New Yorkers broke out early in the first aided by a Mincher error. Tommy Tresh doubled to right center and the fleet footed Dick Howser scored from first. One out later Joe Pepitone singled upping the lead to 2-0. Top 2, the Cherubs had a golden opportunity, Mincher walked and Knoop singled for 1st and 2nd. Buck Rodgers, back from injury, singled to left. Mincher ran through the stop sign at third and was dead meat at the plate. Top 4, Reichardt singled and two outs later, Knoop did also. Rodgers then smacked a worm burner to third the escaped Charlie Smith, scoring the Angels first run, making it a one run game. McGlothlin kept the Yankees bats silent until the 6th when Mantle drew a walk and crossed over to 3rd on a Pepitone single. Young lefty Steve Whitaker singled in The Mick getting that run back. Bottom 7, Lew Burnett’s took over hill duties and got two quick outs. Howser then singled as did Tresh. Lew wanted nothing to do with Mantle and walked him. Pepi made him pay with a 2 run single and Whitaker drove another in making the cushion 5. Bottom 8, again Burnett’s got two quick outs then walked Fritz Peterson somehow then hit Howser on the shoulder. Tresh then crushed a change up into the right field upper deck putting the lead at 9-1. Fritz set the Hali’s down in order to pick up his first win and complete game.
Angels now lost 5 straight while the Yanks ended a losing streak of the same length. Tresh, Pepitone and Whitaker went 9-13 (.692) responsible for all 9 RBIs. Only Angel run scored on an error.
