The Yanks are eager to get back at it after finding their hitting stroke in their last game. The Angels are in need of a win badly and out their trust in 38 year old Jack Sanford. The Bombers counter with journeyman Fred Talbot who has two shakes starts early in this campaign.
Top one, the Cberubs waste a leadoff single by Paul Schaal. Bottom 1, Sanford gets two quick outs via the grounder. Mantle laced one to center and Tresh poked one into right putting 2 on. Steve Whitaker ripped one off the auxiliary scoreboard in right, caroming away from Hall scoring the two Yank runners and landing Steve at 3rd. A walk to Charley Smith gave Bill Robinson and John Kennedy RBI chances that they cashed in in putting the lead at 4-0. Cally got one back quickly. One out singles by Gabrielson and Knoop put runners on the corners. Buck Rodgers skipper one to third, a sure inning ending DP that went right through the five hole cutting the lead to 4-1. Steve Whitaker got that one back, singling in Dick Howser who lead off the inning with walk. Bottom 5, Jim Coates relieved a beaten Sanford. Robby walked and crossed to 3rd on a ground rule double by Kennedy. Coates the plucked Talbot on the left shoulder leading the sacks. A short fly and a whiff had Coates thinking escape, but his old teammate Mickey Mantle stroked one into left-center plating 2 and Tresh added the 8th tin with his second single. The Angels peaked away, a Johnstone homer got one then Buck Rodgers, who reached on an error, spired one a Fregosi single. Dooley Womack closed the door with two shutout innings giving the Bronx squad the first two of this series.
Several Yanks had big days, including Bill Robinson who had his second perfect batting day of the young season. 5 Yanks had multi hit games with Jake Gibbs the only one not to reach base. Joe Pepitone missed the game with a thumb strain. The road team list their sixth straight on this trip.
