Detroit Rookie Opens With Left-Armed Win
Detroit rookie Mickey Lolich, a natural right-hander, pitches his first major league shutout left handed, beating Minnesota 5-0 in three hits. He explains a childhood bicycle accident led to southpaw throwing, aided by strong support from Jerry Lumpe who drives in three. Pizarro and others win in later AL games as Chicago and Washington post victories.

Lopat Optimistic As A's Struggle In Washington Loss
Kansas City manager Ed Lopat said the Athletics lack hitting with men on base and a weak pitching rotation due to washouts. He plans to give rookie Tom Reynolds a longer look while Moe Drabowsky and Aurelio Monteagudo start soon. Reynolds, 22, showed potential with a .332 season previous and .310 spring training, as Ed Charles drove in the lone A's run and a 10th inning error produced four unearned Washington runs.
