Richie Allen Starts Poorly in Dodgers Loss at Dodger Stadium
Richie Allen, in his first Dodger season, misplayed a first inning ball that sparked San Diego's three unearned runs in a 6-3 Padres victory. He later collected his first hit, while Maury Wills explained communication issues during the miscue as fans booed and then gave him a standing ovation. The night also featured Chicago's 6-0 win over Houston and Pittsburgh's 8-2 win over Atlanta with Stargell delivering a homer and Moose winning in relief.
