Pitcher Darwin Evolves Into Modern Hitter for Twins
Bobby Darwin, a 29 year old rookie, has transformed from pitcher to feared hitter with four homers in five games. He belted a two run shot in Minnesota’s 8-4 win over Oakland as Oakland manager Dick Williams praised his power. Darwin, previously in Angels, Orioles, and Dodgers farm systems, moved to outfield in 1970 and showed hitting prowess in the Dodgers’ minor league chain. The Twins acquired him October 22, 1977 in a trade for Paul Ray Powell. In Sunday actions, Texas beat California 5-2, Chicago beat Kansas City 3-2, Cleveland beat Baltimore 2-1, Milwaukee beat Detroit 3-0, and New York’s game at Boston was rained out. Darwin’s two-run homer tied the game in the second and he added a second hit, driving in 10 runs on 18 at-bats this season. Don Mincher hit a three-run homer and Horacio Pina pitched six innings of three-hit relief for Texas. Dick Allen contributed early with a homer and triple, then scored the game-winning run for Chicago on an infield error.
