NOTES: Lee Stange continues to be a revaluation for Dick Williams and the Sox, now in contention for the ERA title. Carl Yastrzemski reached the century mark in RBI’s and continues to lead in all triple crown categories. Reggie Smith had a big week, driving home 9 in the games played. Although George Brunet had a very respectable ERA, he has the dubious honor of suffering the most losses in the league.
