Feast or Famine For Oakland Slugger
Reggie Jackson of the Oakland Athletics is framed as a .250 hitter or a 665 slugger as he upholds his horizon-swinging reputation. He slugged two homers in a 6-4 13-inning win over the Senators in Washington with President Nixon present, part of a day of MLB results including Boston's 13-5 surge over Minnesota and other late-inning thrillers.

Boston Backstop Flies the Coop
Boston Red Sox manager Dick Williams sought a catcher replacement after Joe Azcue jumped the team before Wednesday night’s game with Minnesota. Azcue, 29, complained he should be catching more and left for Overland Park home. Williams cited his 7 and 7 catching record and said Gibson would be favored. Trade deadline is Sunday as Azcue’s abrupt exit adds tension to the club’s handling of the Harrelson deal fallout.

Svitak matched with 10 strikeouts as both pitchers dominated until a three-run third inning gave Tansitor the lead.
