Bouton Seeks Century Mark After Win Over Orioles
Jim Bouton, the Yankees right hander, halted a two month slump with a 5-1 win over Baltimore, his first since May 8. He aims for 20 wins this season after a 4-7 start and poor early form, saying he would have reached 20 last year if not for late reports and being unready at season start. In other AL action, Washington beat Cleveland 2-1, Kansas City swept Chicago 2-1 and 4-3, and Los Angeles defeated Minnesota 3-4. Rain paused Detroit and Boston. Cleveland ace Sam McDowell fanned 11 in a loss, while Ken Hamlin drove in a sac fly for Washington to break a 1-1 tie. The A’s beat Chicago 2-0 as Pete Peters allowed two early runs, and Kansas City’s Bert Campaneris was hit by a pitch with the bases loaded for a nightcap win. Fred Newman limited Minnesota as the Angels snapped a five-game skid with two RBIs from Bob Rodgers and Bobby Knoop.
