Baseball Notes From A Sting of 1970s Al Teams
Brewers were last year with a 248 record 1.82 ERA and 301 strikeouts. Blue sought 115000 then settled for 63000 in an owner salary dispute with Charles O Finley. Oakland’s win put them one game ahead of Minnesota in the AL West as Chicago fell 1 game back. Harmon Killebrew drove in five with his 11th grand slam and a double as the Twins beat the Rangers converts to a four hitter by Jim Kaat. Killebrew hit his 520th homer, one shy of Ted Williams for sixth. Paul Jata replaced Kaline for Detroit and scored twice in a Tigers win over the Yankees as Chuck Seelbach dominated late. Jim Palmer silenced Cleveland with a two run double for Baltimore in a loss for the Indians.
