Sunday, July 3rd

IN THE NEWS: On his 24th birthday, Angel Frank Tanana records his 14th straight complete game in beating the A's 6–4, and raising his record to 12-5. His overworked arm would plague him for the rest of the season, and he would wind up 15-9.

Ron Guidry scatters six hits and tosses his 2nd consecutive shutout, a 2–0 Yankee win over Detroit. Roy White breaks the scoreless game with a double in the 8th inning.

In an 11–7 win over the Padres, Phillies 3B Mike Schmidt hits an inside-the-park homer, the 2nd of his career. He'll hit one more, in 1982.

Monday, July 4th

IN THE NEWS: The Boston Red Sox end their nine game losing streak by walloping a ML-record, since topped, eight home runs, in beating Toronto 9–6 at Fenway. Seven of the homers are solo shots, another ML record. Four home runs (Fred Lynn, Jim Rice, Carl Yastrzemski, GeorgeScott) come in the 8th inning. Only Scott's is not consecutive. Lynn and Scott each have 2, while Rice, Yaz, Butch Hobson and Bernie Carbo have one apiece. The Sox previous high for homers was six and they won't top that number until 1999.

After eight straight hits, Ron Cey is called out on strikes in the 9th in a 4–0 Dodger win over San Francisco. Cey had five hits the day before and three straight today.

In the first game of a doubleheader, Chicago outfielder Larry Biittner pitches the last one 1/3 innings for the Cubs, striking out 3. That's the good news. The bad news is he allows six earned runs on five hits and a walk as the Expos crush the Cubs, 19–3. Two of the three K's are of the opposing pitcher, Jackie Brown, and the last is Larry Parrish, who had homered on a 1–2 pitch from Biittner. Biittner also serves up homers to Valentine and Dawson, each of whom have five ribbies. Biittner is later fined $50 by the National League for throwing a "brush-back" pitch after surrendering the three home runs, but a collection is taken up to pay for his shave. Further bad news for the Cubs is that Bruce Sutter is knocked out for the first time this year, and a massive knot beneath his right shoulder will keep him out of the All-star game. The Cubs lose game 2, 7–6.

New York stays a game ahead of the Red Sox by edging Cleveland, 7–5. The Yankees get home runs from Chris Chambliss, Roy White, Lou Piniella, and Graig Nettles.

The first-place Cubs come back four times to win 16–15 in 13 innings in a contest that goes four hours and 50 minutes. Dave Rosello's RBI single wins it. The Reds lead 6–0 to start, beginning with Rose's leadoff home run, and lead 15–14 near the finish, but Dave Rosello's RBI single off Jack Billingham wins the game. Reuschel wins his 15th and 2nd in two days, pitching just 2/3 of an inning. Going deep are Buckner (2), Murcer, Mitterwald (2, including one in the 12 inning), and Morales for Chicago: Rose, Bench, Griffey, Lum and Geronimo homer for the Reds.
