Craft’s late lefty strategy sinks Dodgers in Houston win
Houston manager Harry Craft baited the Dodgers by benching lefty swingers with a tied game, opting for Rusty Staub’s grand relay hit after a walk and a two run homer by Walt Bond. The Dodgers lost 7-3 as Staub cleared the bases with a double down the right-field line ending the strategic duel. Philadelphia beat Cincinnati 3-1, Cleveland routed Minnesota 4-0, and Kansas City trounced Detroit 10-3 with rainouts elsewhere.
