April 13, 1972. Milwaukee 6, Baltimore 1

Coming into today's game 3 of 1971's division winners were in last place except for San Francisco, which was in 5th in their division.  In the opening game of 2, the Orioles did nothing to change their position as they were bombed by the Brewers, 6-1.  

The Orioles tied their game high this year with 10 hits in the game, but 9 of them were singles off Jim Lonborg over the 1st 8 innings of the game.  He danced around those hits, 2 walks and 2 errors with the help of 3 timely double plays pulled by a smooth infield.  After Milwaukee took a 2-0 lead in the 2nd, they were able to expand that to 4-0 in the 5th on George Scott's 1st home run.  They added an insurance run in the 7th and Bobby Mitchell capped the Brewer scoring with a solo homer in the 9th.  The only blemish on Lonborg's day was Don Baylor's solo homer in the 7th.  

These two will take a break and come back for the 2nd game where Brewer Skip Lockwood will take on Mike Cuellar for the Orioles.

Milwaukee Beats Baltimore, 6-1
The timely hitting of Bobby Mitchell helped the Milwaukee Brewers down the Baltimore Orioles, 6-1. Mitchell went 3 for 4 with a home run, a double, and a walk. He scored 2 runs for the Brewers. Picking up the win was Jim Lonborg. He went 8 innings, allowing 1 run on 9 hits. The right--hander struck out 2 and walked 2. The loss puts Baltimore at 1-5.

George Scott, the three-time Gold Glove Award winner , had a direct impact on the outcome. Scott contributed a 2-run home run in the top of the fifth inning to put Milwaukee up, 4-0.

"I felt we were ready to go," said Milwaukee manager Dave Bristol. "Our pregame was pretty good. We'll have to do that again before the next one."

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.
