Dobson doubles up Angels with 3-1 win in twin bill
Pat Dobson pitched a nine hitter to even his record at 2-2 as the Orioles swept the California Angels 3-1 in both games. Dave McNally opened with a four-hitter in the first game. Brooks Robinson and Dave Johnson provided key run singles, while Hendricks drove in a run with a sacrifice fly. The Orioles showed pitching depth as Palmy Palmer and Cuellar contributed in relief and the offense supplied just enough scoring. Other games around the league saw Minnesota top New York 5-3 and Boston crush Chicago 10-1 as Seaver and Gibson dueled tonight for another marquee matchup.
