IN THE NEWS: The A's beat the Angels 1–0 in the longest shutout in American League history—20 innings. Vida Blue strikes out 17 batters in 11 innings for the A's, while the Angels Billy Cowan ties a major-league record by fanning six times. Both teams combine for 43 strikeouts, a new major-league record for incompetence.

Braves SS Leo Foster makes a memorable debut. Against the Pirates, he errs on his first chance, hits into a double play in the 5th, and a triple play in the 7th. Pittsburgh rolls by Atlanta, 11-2.

In the Royals, 6–3 win over the Twins, Freddie Patek hits for the cycle.

Sunday, July 11th

IN THE NEWS: Tony Conigliaro, who had gone 0-for-8 with five strikeouts for the Angels during their 20-inning loss two days earlier, calls a five A.M. press conference to announce his retirement. Later tests will show that the sight in his left eye, injured in a 1967 beaning, has deteriorated.

Deron Johnson hits three home runs, giving him four straight over two games, helping the Phils beat the Expos 11–5.

The Reds win Game One against the Mets, 5–2, then complete the sweep as Tony Perez drives in all five runs to defeat the Mets, 5–3. Perez puts the Reds ahead with a 3-run homer off Tom Seaver in the 8th. Jim McGlothlin strikes out 12 in the game two win.

Thursday, July 15th

IN THE NEWS: The Pirates beat the Padres 4–3 in a marathon thriller. Pittsburgh ties the game in the bottom of the 9th, 13th, and 16th innings before winning it on a Roberto Clemente home run in the 17th.
