April 11, 1972. Chicago White Sox 7, Minnesota 3

The White Sox jumped on Twins' starter Dick Woodson with 4 runs in the top of the first on their way to a 7-3 win in blustery Metropolitan Stadium.  Carlos May highlighted the inning with a 2-run homer.  Woodson settled in and didn't allow another run as he made it through 6 innings.

The Twins started chipping away against Sox lefty Dave Lemonds.  They stormed right back to load the bases with one out in the bottom of the first, but could only manage a sacrifice fly from Eric Soderholm to cut the gap to 4-1. Harmon Killebrew brought the Twins back with a solo HR in the 5th and an RBI single in the 7th off rookie Rich Gossage to make it 4-3.  

The White Sox looked to have put it away in the top of the 8th with 3 runs on doubles by Ed "Hoggy" Herrmann and shortstop Rich Morales to make it 7-3.  But the Twins weren't done.  They loaded the bases with 2 outs against Steve Kealy and Soderholm was due up.  Manager Chuck Tanner made a move somewhat against the book by bringing in lefty Terry Forster against him, but Forster made Tanner look like a genius when he left Soderholm at the plate looking at strike three to end the game.

Chicago Beats Minnesota, 7-3
The Chicago White Sox overcame a fine performance by Minnesota first baseman Harmon Killebrew to defeat the Twins, 7-3, at Metropolitan Stadium 1965-1976. Killebrew went 3-3 with a home run, 2 singles, and 2 walks, while adding 2 RBI and scoring once. Earning his 2nd save of the year was Terry Forster. The win puts Chicago at 3-2.

Chicago relied on the hitting of Carlos May to pick up the win. The left fielder clubbed a 2-run home run in the top of the first inning to put the White Sox on top, 3-0. For the game, May had 1 home run and 1 single in 5 at-bats.

"Nice to see our side come away with the win," May said after the game.

April 14, 1972. Pittsburgh 5, New York Mets 3

Image
 Pittsburgh ran their winning streak to 3 games with a 5-3 win over the Mets.  This was Bob Moose's first start and it was a dandy.  Moose threw a complete game only allowing 5 hits, 2 earned runs, and didn't walk anybody. Pittsburgh got off on the right foot in the top of the 1st when Roberto Clemente followed up a Dave Cash single with a 2-run homer. He later had an RBI triple in the 8th to finish with 3 hits, 3 RBI and 2 runs scored.  That RBI triple and Clemente scoring on Al Oliver's single gave the Pirates some breathing room at 5-2.  John Milner hit a leadoff homer in the 9th, but the Mets couldn't threaten any more than that. Those 3 hits by Clemente push his career total to within 106 of the magic 3000 plateau, which seems like an easily attainable goal this year if he stays healthy.

April 12, 1972. Boston 7, Cleveland 1 (Game 1)

Image
Boston's hitters looked like they were answering the early call today as they came around and put a whooping on Cleveland, 7-1.  Tommy Harper took Gaylord Perry's 4th pitch over the left field wall to lead off the game with a 1-0 lead and the Red Sox just kept going.  Cleveland got its only run of the game in the bottom of the 3rd on Del Unser's RBI single. But any idea of a shutdown inning went by the boards when Boston put 3 on the board in the top of the 4th off Perry.  Perry, however, dug his own hole that inning with 2 walks to start the inning. Carlton Fisk doubled in one, followed by Ben Oglivie's RBI single and Juan Beniquez' sacrifice fly.  Oglivie had a 2-run single in the 9th to put the game out of reach. Sonny Siebert pitched well, going 7 innings, fanning 5 and only allowing 1 run to even his record at 1-1. Gary Peters cleaned up the last 2 innings.

April 13, 1972. Texas 11, Oakland 0.

Image
The Texas Rangers ran roughshod over the Oakland A's today 11-0. The men from Texas will be heading down the west coast tomorrow after sweeping 3 from last years division winner in their own ballpark.  Texas jumped on A's starter Ken Holtzman from the very beginning.  Dave Nelson walked and took 2nd on a wild pitch.  Ted Ford then chased him home with an RBI single.  Jeff Burroughs came up next and sent a 2-run homer over the left center boards for a quick 3-0 lead. Pete Broberg started for Texas and Oakland didn't have an answer for him.  Broberg and Rich Hand, who finished up the last two innings didn't allow an Oakland runner to reach third base and Reggie Jackson's single leading off the 5th was the last runner for the A's. Meanwhile the Rangers just kept teeing off on Oakland.  They added insurance runs in the 2nd, 3rd and 5th, sending Holtzman to an early shower.  Then a 5 run 8th off Dave Hamilton continued to the pileup.  Pinch-hitter Tom ...
