The Orioles continue to work toward reviving that magic they had just a season ago as the take on the Indians in the backend of this brief two game set at the ‘Mistake By The Lake’

Orioles tried to get something cooking in the 1st, Frank Robinson ripped a two out double and a Brooks walked by Boog whiffed to cancel it all out. Bottom 1, Alvis and Davalillo drew walks to open the inning. Chuck Hinton single drove in a run as did Rocky Colavito. Jose Ascue then squared up a McNally fastball making the lead 5-0. Top 3, the Orioles chipped away at the lead as Frank Robby singled and raced home on a B. Robby three bagger. Cleveland doubled that tally an inning later when McNally fumbled a comeback then allowed a single and a walk loading the bases. Hank Bauer saw enough bringing in Frank Bertania. He whiffed Dav but Hinton walked for a run. Rocco drove one to deep left for the second tally. After the third inning triple by Brooks, Siebert retired 19 of the next 20 the only blemish was a single to Larry Haney. Sonny himself drove in the last run of the game with a sac fly in the 8th, gaining a split for the home club.

The back end of a doubleheader, the Sens still looking for a W, can it happen against the A’s best hurler?

Top 1, Valentine singled with one out and raced home on a tie bagger by a Frank Howard. Hindo then scored without a throw on a long single by McMullen, putting a deuce on the board. Bottom 1, Webster, Monday and Cater singled back to back to back , Cater picking up the stat filler. Washington added to the lead in the 4th, Jim French and Eddie Brinkman singled leading off the inning. Hannan failed to move them up, but Saverine picked up the ribby. Bottom 5, Dagobert Campaneris found the range pulling them within one. Bottom 6, Cater and Repoz singled putting runners on the corners and chasing Hannan from the game. Dick Lines came on a walked Dick Green. Gosger forced Cater at the plate for a a brief reprieve. The next pitch crossed up catcher French, sailing to the backstop, plating the tying run. Phil Roof then drove one to deep center, scoring Green easily for the lead. That’s all Hunter needed, begrudgingly allowing a mere single on the last five innings getting his second win.

Incredibly, the Sens lost again. Gil Hodges must be beside himself.

Bottom 3, the A.s nickel Pete for another tally, Monday doubled and two outs later scored on a Joe Nossek single.

Lew Krausse muscled one out in the 4th to aid his own cause then Kaycee added another in the 5th when Cater singled and swiped second, once again Joe Nossek delivered the run. Top 6 the shells started to fall off on Krausse as Howard singled and Bob Chance deposited one in the right field bleachers bringing the Sens within one. Ken McMullen then followed with his own solo shot tying the game. Bottom 7, Richert got the first two outs before walking Dick Green. Nossek then ripped a double to the gap chasing Green home for the lead again. The lead lasted all of one batter as Frank Howard lit into a Lindblad fastball to tie the game once again. Bottom 8, three consecutive singles plated the lead run, Rick Monday collecting the RBI. Jack Aker pitched a perfect 9th to seal the deal.

Washington lost its 15th in a row.

The middle contest on this Western swing, the Sox and Halis get after it again. Hank Fischer takes the ball from Dick Williams, fresh off a shutout gem. He opposes Jim McGlothlin looking to rebound from a subpar star thus last turn.

Boston goes in order in their part of the 1st while a DP wiped out a Paul Schaal single. action picked up in the 3rd as Rico Petrocelli drove one into the visitor’s bullpen giving the east coast club the lead. Bottom 3, Buck Rodgers walked and two outs later, Paul Schaal dug in. He found the sweet spot and drove a blast into the left field seats for a California leaf. Bottom 5, the Angels padded their lead. Mincher singled and Buck Rodgers gave the right field seats with his first homer making it a 4-1 game. The cherubs nicked Osinski for an insurance run as Mincher one hopped the wall in center, chasing Jimmie Hall home. The beantowners fought back as Dalton Jones singled home Yaz who doubled earlier in the inning. But that is all she wrote as Minnie Rojas pitcher a scoreless 9th, putting the Angels in the win column,

A quick two game set here at the shores of Lake Erie. Two teams mired in mediocrity face off. It’s the tale of two hurlers, one starting the season great the other searching for stability.

Top 1, Sudden Sam’s wildness shone forth and he walked Aparicio with one out and the plucked Frank Robison on the left bicep. Brooks Robinson then took the first strike he saw and laced a single to center for a quick lead. Tom Phoebus alternated whiffs with baserunners, allowing a walk to Alvis and a single to Wagner. Top 3, Frank singled, as did Brooks. Sam Bowen’s, getting a start against a lefty, sliced a single to right, plating Frank Robby but a strong throw from Chuck Hinton nailed rooks trying for third. Bottom 4, the hone club had their best opportunity. Wagner singled again and Whitfield walked putting two on with one out. Sims flied to short right but Gus Gil best out a slow roller to fill the bases. Phoebus got Larry Brown to tap to the mound to end the threat. Top 5, Curt Blefary singled and one out later Frank walked. The red hot B. Robby doubled to the gap in left center to plate the pair bumping the lead to 4-0. Meanwhile, the Indians were having little to no success with the Oriole rookie righthander., managing just one hit in the last 5 innings, altho the did work him for 3 free passes. Top 7, Phoebus singled, his second hit of the season. One out later Aparicio singled and both scored of a hustling three bagger by F. Robby. Brooks sent Davalillo to the warning track, scoring Frank easily. Phoebus went the route, nudging Baltimore a game over the break even mark.

Tom Phoebus came out firing, strike outs accounting firms 8 of the first 9 outs in route to a trial of 15. He fanned the side in three different innings. The 15 tie Dean Chance to most so far this season. Luis Aparicio has an eight game hitting streak. Frank Robinson was a homer short of the cycle again, second time in four days. Gus Gil’s single in the third broke an 0-21 slump.

The second half of the doubleheader, Cleveland took the front end squaring their season’s record. The Chisox counter with lefty Jim O’Toole making his first start of the season for his hometown team.

Cleveland picked up where they left off as Max Alvis ripped a double and flashed home on a single by Davalillo. The home club countered in their part of the 1st, Buford singled as did Tommy Agee. Agee promptly stole second and both runners scored on a line drive single by Pete Ward giving the Pale Hose the lead. The game developed into a pitching duel, Jim O’Toole flashing vintage stuff akin to his Cincy days. He only allowed two additional singles while going seven strong innings. Steve Hargan matched him with zeroes, his only blemishes being two Al Weis singles. Hoyt Wilhelm relieved O’Toole getting the last six to secure a split of the day.
