Rain Delays Proves a Thriller in McLain NL Debut
Denny McLain made his National League debut for Atlanta as a rainout saved him from a tense eighth inning after Jose Cardenal and Don Kessinger led off with singles. The Cubs tied the game 3-3 before a downpour halted play and prompted an unresolved protest from Leo Durocher. The Braves won the first game 5-1 with a seventh inning burst powered by Paul Casanova and Mike Lum. Seaver carried a no hitter into the ninth for the Mets in their split with San Diego while Houston shut out Pittsburgh.
