Rangers Drop Two To Twins In Poor Getaway Start
The Texas Rangers, managed by Billy Martin, lost 3-2 to the Minnesota Twins as errors and baserunning miscues hampered their start to 0-2 in 1975. Tony Oliva homered, and a critical seventh inning sequence featured two Texas throwing errors. Other AL games saw the White Sox rally for a 7-5 win over Oakland, Royals edging the Angels 7-6, and the Brewers beating the Red Sox 7-4 with Milwaukee star performances from George Scott and Robin Yount.
