April 13, 1972. San Francisco 5, Cincinnati 3

San Francisco jumped out to a quick lead on the Reds and held on to a 5-3 lead.  The Giants did all their scoring in the 1st and 3rd innings around triples from rookie Gary Matthews.  Twice Matthews drove in Tito Fuentes and scored himself, once on Dave Kingman's sacrifice fly and once on Red pitcher Ross Grimsley's wild pitch.

Steve Stone held the Reds in check most of the way.  He had a bout of wildness in the 3rd that led to him walking in a run.  In the 5th, he gave up a couple of runs on doubles by Joe Morgan, Tony Perez and Bernie Carbo.  Stone wasn't sharp, with 4 walks, but he limited the Reds to 4 hits.  Ron Bryant, normally a starter, but not needed with all of the early off days, went the last 2.2 innings for the save.

Giants Win at Cincinnati, 5-3
Riverfront Stadium was the site of a competitive game between the Cincinnati Reds and San Francisco Giants.

No one was more impactful than Gary Matthews in the 5-3 San Francisco win over Cincinnati. Matthews, who is rated as the 23rd best prospect by BNN, was 3-3 with 2 triples and a walk, while scoring 2 times and driving in 2. Steve Stone, the winning pitcher, is now 1-0. He went 5.1 innings, allowing 3 runs on 4 hits, while fanning 4 and walking 3. Ron Bryant picked up the save, his 1st.

Matthews had a key at-bat for San Francisco early in the game. With a runner on 1st, he hit a run-scoring triple. It was his 2nd triple of the season and gave San Francisco an early 1-0 lead.

"I felt good up there," said Matthews. "I saw the ball well."

Cincinnati drops to 5-2.

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.
