Dobson, Flying High With Orioles, Shuts Out Angels, 6-0

Pirates 6, Padres 5
PITTSBURGH — Steve Blass, despite an off
night, became the majors’ first 14-game winner
as the Pirates edged the Padres.
The Bucs jumped Pads’ starter Dave Roberts
for four runs in the bottom of the first inning,
with catcher Manny Sanguillen capping the
rally with a three-run round-tripper.
The Pirates held a 6-1 lead after seven in-
nings. But the Friars scored four times in the
eighth, chasing Blass (14-3). Pirates fireman
Dave Giusti hurled 1 2/3 scoreless innings to
gain his seventh save in nine chances.
Roberts (4-11) lost his seventh consecutive
start for San Diego.
Giants 4, Reds 3
CINCINNATI — Rookie shortstop Chris
Speier lined a tie-breaking single in the top of
the ninth inning as the Giants rallied from a 3-0
deficit to run their record to 7-0 against the
Reds this season.
Cincinnati took a 3-0 lead on an RBI double
by outfielder George Foster, who began the
ANAHEIM — One year ago today, Pat Dob-
son’s record was 5-10. His ERA was 4.34 and
his team, the San Diego Padres, had the worst
record in the National League.
Measure the difference however you wish —
months, miles or maturity. Dobson is a new man
in 1971.
Thursday night the new man fired a seven-hit
shutout as the Orioles, the team with the best
record in baseball, blanked the Angels 6-0.
The Birds have won six in a row and 10 of 11.
Dobson’s 13th win tied him for the league
lead. His 2.76 ERA ties him for seventh in the
loop. His current hot streak — 9-2 since June 2
— is a happy coincidence for the Birds, who
have lost Dave McNally, a three-time 20-game
winner, to a sore elbow.
Paul Blair homered in the top of the first off
Angels starter Andy Messersmith for a 1-0 Balti-
more lead. Dobson’s RBI on a fielder’s choice
was part of a three-run rally in the second.
Merv Rettenmund’s two-run single closed out
the scoring in the eighth.
Messersmith (8-7) lost for the second time in
three starts.
Boston 7, Twins 6
BOSTON — Carl Yastrzemski’s RBI single
in the bottom of the 14th inning gave the Red
Sox a wild win over the Twins in a see-saw
affair.
The Red Sox scored twice in the bottom of
the eighth on pinch hitter Mike Fiore’s homer
to tie the contest, 3-3. Both teams scored twice
in the ninth and once in the 10th before
Yastrzemski lined his game winner off loser
Steve Luebber (0-5).
BoSox reliever Bill Lee hurled three score-
less innings and improved to 5-4.
A’s 4, Tigers 3
OAKLAND — Joe Rudi lashed a tie-
breaking double and Tommy Davis clubbed a
two-run home run in a three-run sixth-inning
rally as the A’s went on to a 4-3 victory over
the Tigers.
A’s starter Chuck Dobson (5-8) outdueled
the Tigers’ Mickey Lolich (8-10). Dobson al-
lowed three runs in 7 2/3 innings and Lolich
allowed four runs in seven frames.
Brewers 6, Yankees 2
NEW YORK — Marcelino Lopez snapped a
personal four-game losing streak with a five-
hitter and Ted Kubiak struck a three-run home
run in a four-run sixth inning as the Brewers
topped the Yankees.
Lopez (2-5) and New York starter Mel Stot-
tlemyre (12-5) dueled to a 2-2 tie after five in-
nings. The Suds’ Bill Voss broke the deadlock
with a run-scoring fielder’s choice. Kubiak fol-
lowed with his homer to break the game open.

Streak
From Page 1
When Willie Davis of Los An-
geles hit in 31 straight games in
1969 and Rico Carty did the
same last year, they fell 25
games short. The longest streak
this season is 21 by Ralph Garr
of Atlanta. That didn’t even
match DiMaggio’s halfway
point.
The streak started innocently
enough when DiMaggio sin-
gled off Chicago’s Edgar Smith
on May 15, 1941. He made it
56 straight with two hits off
Cleveland’s Al Milnar and one
off Joe Krakauska on July 16.

and Lou Piniella poked a pair

hander. But the real culprit
was Kenny Keltner, who
robbed DiMaggio of two hits
with backhand stabs of shots
down the line, nipping him at
first base both times.
Keltner started his robbery
in the first inning. In the
fourth, DiMaggio walked.
Keltner robbed him again in
the seventh and an inning later
he grounded to shortstop Lou
Boudreau, who fielded a bad
hop at his chest and started a
double play.

Senators 4, White Sox 2
WASHINGTON D.C. —
Don Mincher’s tie-breaking
single sparked a three-run
rally in the bottom of the
eighth inning as the Senators
downed the White Sox.
Both starting pitchers, the
Nats’ Dick Bosman and Chi-
cago’s Wilbur Wood went
seven innings, allowing one
run. Wood fanned a career-
high 11.
The decisions went to re-
lievers. Joe Grzenda (1-1)
hurled a scoreless frame to
gain the victory. Chicago’s
Vicente Romo (1-4) allowed
three runs without retiring a
batter.
