April 11, 1972. Cincinnati 7, San Francisco 4

Cincinnati knocked around San Francisco mainstay Juan Marichal early, albeit with the help of some key Giant errors.  They got all their runs in the 1st three innings, but it was enough for a 7-4 win.  Johnny Bench and Tony Perez added 2-run homers and Pete Rose and Bobby Tolan had run-scoring doubles for the Reds. 

The 2nd inning is what really doomed the Giants.  With 2 outs and a runner on first, Tito Fuentes misplayed a routine grounder. Pete Rose followed with a 2-run double and Bobby Tolan then doubled in Rose for 3 unearned runs that equalled the eventual margin of victory.

Don Gullett was shaky this time out, walking 4 and allowing 3 SF runs. including a solo HR to Dave Kingman.  However the bullpen was able to support him over the last 4 innings, allowing only an 8th inning solo HR by Gary Matthews.  Clay Carroll handled an easy 1-2-3 9th inning for his 3rd save.

The Reds remain the league's only unbeaten team at 5-0 and are on a roll to begin the season.

Reds Stay Hot, Beat Giants, 7-4
Cincinnati beat San Francisco in a rain-soaked ballgame.

The 7-4 Cincinnati win over San Francisco was due largely to Johnny Bench. The Reds catcher was 3-4 with a home run and a double, while scoring 2 and driving in 2. Clay Carroll picked up the save for Cincinnati, his 3rd of the year.

The Reds got a big at-bat from left fielder Pete Rose. For the game, Rose went 1-3 with a double, a walk, and was hit by a pitch. He drove in 2 runs and scored once. In the bottom of the second, with runners on 1st and 2nd, he stroked a 2-run double. His 4th double of the season gave Cincinnati a 4-2 lead.

"Our guys are never satisfied," said Cincinnati manager Sparky Anderson.

The Reds, now 5-0, have played some good baseball in the early going.

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. Pittsburgh 5, Chicago Cubs 2

Image
It was a clear day with the wind blowing out to right at Wrigley Field, but the 18216 fans in attendance saw an extremely sloppy game played as the Pirates beat the Cubs 5-2.  Pittsburgh won despite committing 5 errors, 3 by their pitchers.  The Cubs chipped in with 3 errors of their own.  However both teams' pitchers were up to the task as each team stranded 11 runners and only gave up 1 unearned run. The Cubs took a 2-1 lead in the third on a Billy Williams 2-run homer, following a Richie Hebner error that put Don Kessinger on base.  Not all of the fielding in this game was a disaster, however, as Manny Sanguillen had thrown out Jose Cardenal stealing, or the score would be 3-1. The score stayed there until the 6th.  One of the unlikeliest Pirates, Gene Alley, put the Pirates on top to stay, 3-2, with a 2-run homer off Cub starter Burt Hooton.  Hooton knuckled under to keep the Pirates off the board through the rest of his 7 innings.   The Cubs ...

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.
