Indians win with self-made batting order in upset over Toronto
Frank Robinson shuffled the Indians lineup to a 4-3 victory over Toronto ending a seven game skid. Buddy Bell led off and drove in two runs in the third as Duane Kuiper and others followed in the improvised order. The crowd at Municipal Stadium watched 78,000 empty seats as the experiment paid off. Houston beat San Francisco and Los Angeles topped San Diego in other NL games.
