Sudden Sam Lifts Indians Over A's In One Hitter
Cleveland lefty Sudden Sam McDowell fires a one hitter to beat Oakland 10 4 as Bert Campaneris leads off the fourth with a single. McDowell strikes out 12, matching his season high while Odom’s fastball misfires in a feud fueled duel. Campaneris and Bando provide Oakland’s only early baserunners in a game that widens the A’s deficit in the pennant chase.

Holtzman No Hitter Draws Koufax Comparison
Chicago manager Leo Durocher hails Ken Holtzman as the next Koufax after a no hitter against Atlanta. Holtzman, 23, struggled with control earlier but pitched the game without a strikeout, aided by sharp defense and early Cubs runs. He hopes the feat sparks a pennant push despite a season marked by uneven results.
