Rescued Hurler Wins for Angels in 4-0 Brisk Return
Jim Coates, 84, rescued from the minors, beat the Chicago White Sox 4-0 in his first major league start in three years. He allowed four singles and trimmed Chicago despite a season-opening win by Gary Peters. The Angels split a doubleheader as Kansas City, New York, and Boston swept. Baltimore blanked Washington 6-0. Coates’ comeback follows a turbulent career in New York, Washington, Cincinnati, and Seattle, highlighted by a wild 1960 brawl and a hospital punch from Richardo Joseph. He vowed to stay in the majors.
