Catfish Is Kingfish After Perfect Game
Oakland pitcher Catfish Hunter, 22, threw a true perfect game, striking out 11 and allowing no baserunner in a 4-0 win over Minnesota. Hunter earned $5,000 extra and joined Charlie Robertson, Don Larsen, and a short list of 1889 era pitchers as regular-season perfect games. Hunter went 3-for-4 with two RBIs, while A's owner Charles Finley celebrated on the phone and Hunter recalled pitching a school-game perfecto earlier in Hertford.

Lions chase Munson mystique to rekindle Layne era
Detroit seeks Bill Munson from the Rams after trading three veterans and a first-round pick. Writer Jerry Green argues Layne’s swagger and leadership defined Lions quarterbacking since the 1950s, and Munson’s arrival aims to restore that mystique. George Allen’s negotiations stretched from January to May, culminating in a swap to land Munson and curb free-agent risks.

Rocky Colavito Boosts Dodgers in 7-6 Loss to Cubs
In his first 18 games with the Dodgers Rocky Colavito delivered two homers and five RBIs as Chicago held off Los Angeles 7-6. Alston defended a lineup change while Colavito said he preferred daily play and urged patience. Colavito connected for a three run shot in the ninth and battled foul trouble before final at bat.
