Twins and Orioles Stir Up Pressure as Baseball Winds Blow
CHICAGO AP There was no Comiskey in the White Sox front office today as the club searched for leadership. In Baltimore the Orioles faced a pile of doubleheaders with a depleted nine man staff. Every pitcher has worked in recent games and plans to recall another hurler from the Miami Marlins to fortify the rotation. Jack Fisher pitched a complete game but Detroit’s Frank Lary matched him as the Tigers beat the Birds 4 to 2. Charlie Maxwell’s ninth inning hit sealed the loss. The Birds have won two of six, both against the Senators and Detroit. Hoeft appears the leading recall choice, left handed with the Marlins’ arbitration of staff needs. Chuck Comiskey resigned as executive vice president of the American League club, expressing no bitterness toward Manager Al Lopez and the nine players who have helped the team through a tough stretch.
