Reichardt Hits Grand Slam as Angels Top A's in Chicago
Rick Reichardt belted a bases loaded homer off Mike Hershberger in the first inning, driving in George Brunet as the Angels beat the Athletics 4-3. Brunet, win 4-1 in 15 decisions, benefited from the unsteady miscue that helped Reichardt tally, while Minnie Rojas closed the game for Los Angeles. In other AL games, Minnesota beat Chicago 3-1, Baltimore topped Washington 8-3, the Yankees edged Detroit 3-2, and Boston defeated Cleveland 8-3. Frank and Brooks Robinson had three hits each for Baltimore in a 15-hit assault, and Tom Phoebus earned his sixth win with Moe Drabowsky in relief. The Yankees completed a three-game sweep of Detroit as Tom Tresh drove in two and Mickey Mantle added a run on a single. A triple play turned by Horace Clarke helped New York retire Detroit in the fifth.
