Sunday, July 2nd

IN THE NEWS: Ron Guidry wins his 13th consecutive game, the best start in Yankee history, in beating Detroit, 3–2. With the Yankees down 2–0, Mickey Rivers long drive to right is caught by a fan reaching down to take it away from Detroit's Mickey Stanley. The fan drops the ball and Stanley, waiting for an interference call, fails to retrieve. Rivers motors for an inside-the-park homer and New York ties the game 2–2, eventually winning it.

Monday, July 17th

IN THE NEWS: In the latest incident in his feud with manager Billy Martin, the Yankees Reggie Jackson ignores instructions and attempts to bunt in the 10th inning of a tie game with the Royals. Jackson pops up, the Yanks lose, 9–7, in the 11th, and Martin serves Jackson with a 5-day suspension without pay. The Royals' 3-game sweep at Yankee Stadium leaves New York in 4th place, 14 games behind the Red Sox.

Wednesday, July 19th

IN THE NEWS: The Red Sox beat the Brewers 8–2, scoring four in the 7th and four in the 8th, to increase their lead in the American League Eastern Division to nine games over Milwaukee, 12 1/2 over Baltimore, and 14 games over the 4th-place Yankees. In the 7th, the Sox have George Scott on 2B and Butch Hobson, playing his first game in weeks because of muscle spasms, on 1B. On a Frank Duffy single, Scott scores on a close play, prompting an argument by Brews' catcher Charlie Moore. No time is called, however, and Hobson strolls around the bases to score from first, while Duffy is finally thrown out trying for 3B. Fisk accounts for the other three runs in the inning with his 13th homer of the year.

Against the Phils, Pete Rose beats out a 9th inning bunt to keep his hit streak alive. It looked dead when Pete was retired in the 8th inning, but the Reds scored four runs to give Rose the chance to hit again. Mike Schmidt can't handle Rose's bunt. The Reds win, 7–2.
