May Comes to a Close-AL

Baltimore and Minnesota have a firm grasp on the AL Divisions and seem poised for an ALCS rematch. The Yankees have pitched their way into contention, although their average offense will probably keep them from seriously challenging in the East. In the West, supposed contenders California and Oakland have struggled offensively and posted losing records through the first two months of the season, allowing the might Twins to breeze out to an 8-1/2 game lead despite a sluggish April.

May Comes to a Close --NL

Cincinnati goes on a 14 game winning streak to take over the West while the Braves, Giants and Dodgers try to keep pace. Pittsburgh has shaken off a slow start and is closing in on the surprising Phillies in the East. Philadelphia recently lost Don Money and Johnny Briggs to injury that has just decimated the offense over the last week.

NEWSPAPER GAME STORIES FOR 1970 National League                Date: 6/1/1970
 

HOUSTON AT NEW YORK Astros.......... 0 0 0 0 0 3 0 1 0 - 4 6 1 Mets............ 0 2 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 - 3 5 1 Win:Bouton(2-4) Loss:Sadecki(2-3) Save:Gladding(10th) Homeruns- J.Wynn(10th), D.Menke(4th), R.Swoboda(4th) Jim Wynn hit one over the fence at Shea Stadium where the Houston Astros beat the New York Mets 4 to 3. Houston scored the deciding run in the 8th inning. Wynn smashed a bases-empty 'big-fly' (his 10th of the season). New York was retired without difficulty in the bottom of the 9th. Jim Bouton(2-4) went 2 innings allowing no runs for the victory. Fred Gladding earned the save, his 10th. Ray Sadecki(2-3) was hit with the loss. With this win, Houston has a 22-27 record. They have been 3-7 lately. With this loss, New York has a 4-6 record of late, 24-23 overall. HOUSTON AT NEW YORK Astros.......... 0 2 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 - 3 8 1 Mets............ 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 - 2 6 0 Win:Wilson(2-3) Loss:McAndrew(1-3) Save:Gladding(11th) Homeruns- D.Rader-2(8th), J.Pepitone(14th) Doug Rader launched 2 homeruns at Shea Stadium where the Houston Astros beat the New York Mets 3 to 2. Rader was a seemingly constant irritant to the hometown fans as he provided much of the offense for the visitors. He lofted a solo-blast 'downtown' in the 2nd inning, lined a base-hit in the 4th inning and delivered a solo blast (his 8th of the season) in the 6th inning. New York had a chance in the 9th but they came up short. Don Wilson(2-3) was the winner allowing 2 runs in 8 innings. Fred Gladding recorded his 11th save. Jim McAndrew(1-3) suffered the loss. He served up 3 homeruns in his 7 innings. LOS ANGELES AT ST. LOUIS Dodgers......... 0 0 2 1 0 0 0 3 0 - 6 10 0 Cardinals....... 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 - 1 7 1 Win:Vance(5-3) Loss:Torrez(3-5) Tom Haller had 2 base hits and 2 RBI at Busch Stadium as the Los Angeles Dodgers beat the St. Louis Cardinals 6 to 1. St. Louis was unable to claim the lead after Los Angeles went ahead in the top of the 3rd inning when they scored 2 runs on 3 hits. That early run support was enough for Sandy Vance(5-3) and Los Angeles. Los Angeles had 10 hits overall, while St. Louis had 7. Mike Torrez(3-5) was hit with the loss. He allowed 7 hits and 3 walks in 7 innings. MONTREAL AT CINCINNATI Expos........... 2 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 - 3 9 2 Reds............ 2 1 0 3 0 1 0 0 - 7 8 0 Win:Merritt(9-3) Loss:McGinn(1-6) Homeruns- T.Perez(14th), J.Merritt(2nd) At Crosley Field the Cincinnati Reds easily handled the Montreal Expos by the score of 7 to 3. Montreal never recovered after Cincinnati took the lead in the 2nd inning scoring a single run. Cincinnati had a total of 8 hits for the game. Jim Merritt(9-3) picked up the victory, allowing 3 runs in 7 innings. Dan McGinn(1-6) took the loss. He got hit pretty hard, allowing 7 hits and 3 walks in 3 and 2/3 innings. PHILADELPHIA AT ATLANTA Phillies........ 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 - 0 4 0 Braves.......... 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 - 2 8 2 Win:Nash(5-5) Loss:Wise(3-6) Save:Wilhelm(6th) At Fulton Co. Stadium, the Atlanta fans witnessed a great pitcher's duel. Jim Nash(5-5) finally bested his Philadelphia opposite, Rick Wise(3-6), by the score of 2 to 0. Nash gave a fine effort for Atlanta. He went 7 and 2/3 innings allowing 3 hits and 7 walks. After the 3rd inning, neither team was able to score. Hoyt Wilhelm gained credit for his 6th save. The loss was charged to Wise. He pitched 6 innings allowing 8 hits and 2 walks.

SAN DIEGO AT CHICAGO Padres.......... 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 3 - 5 9 2 Cubs............ 3 2 0 0 0 5 2 0 - 12 17 1 Win:Jenkins(5-5) Loss:Corkins(1-7) Homeruns- D.Campbell(6th), N.Colbert(18th), O.Brown(6th), E.Spiezio(5th), B.Williams-2(11th), J.Hickman(10th) Billy Williams smacked 2 homeruns and had 7 RBI at Wrigley Field as the Chicago Cubs beat the San Diego Padres 12 to 5. Williams was a one-man wrecking crew. He clubbed a three-run home run in the 1st inning, doubled bringing in a run in the 2nd inning, hit a single in the 4th inning and belted a three-run homer (his 11th of the season) in the 6th inning. Chicago had 17 hits overall, while San Diego had 9. The victory was credited to Fergie Jenkins(5-5) who went 8 innings, allowing 4 runs. Mike Corkins(1-7) ended up with the loss. He allowed 5 runs and 6 hits in 1 and 2/3 innings. 'I just got in the box, looked for a pitch and swung,' Williams said. 'That's it' SAN FRANCISCO AT PITTSBURGH Giants.......... 0 0 0 0 0 2 1 0 0 - 3 8 0 Pirates......... 2 0 4 0 1 0 0 1 - 8 9 1 Win:Moose(5-3) Loss:Marichal(4-2) Save:Walker(1st) Homeruns- W.Stargell(12th), A.Oliver-2(8th), M.Sanguillen(5th) Al Oliver smacked 2 homeruns and had 3 RBI as the Pittsburgh Pirates beat the San Francisco Giants by a score of 8 to 3. The home town fans were very appreciative of the fine hitting performance provided by Oliver. He smashed a two-run homer in the 3rd inning, smashed a solo-shot out of the park (his 8th of the season) in the 5th inning and tripled in the 8th inning. Pittsburgh had a total of 9 hits for the game. The winning pitcher was Bob Moose(5-3) who allowed 2 runs in 6 innings. Luke Walker earned the save, his 1st. Juan Marichal(4-2) ended up with the loss. He was touched for 3 homeruns in his 2 and 2/3 innings of work. 'I was in my hotel room the other night, working on my swing and made some adjustments,' Oliver said. 'I'm always working on it. If they are getting you out certain ways, you've got to make changes.'
