McDowell Wins 20th Game as Indians Top Tigers
Sam McDowell earned his first 20 win season while pitching 7 innings for Cleveland in a 6-2 victory over Detroit. He struck out nine, walked one, and hit a black eye from a mugging earlier in the week before allowing seven hits. Ray Foster drove in three runs with a homer and a single, Vada Pinson added two RBIs, and John Lowenstein and Foster helped spark a four run fourth inning. The win moves Cleveland toward a three game series at Baltimore followed by a trip to Boston and a final home set with Baltimore to finish 1970.
