Very nice crowd on hand on this sun-kissed afternoon. A lot of youngsters in attendance. 8,000 plus out here last night, 8,973. And it wins with 26,687 nights before last, of course with Harmon Killebrew mug night, when a nice thermal mud was given away to every fan in attendance, signifying Harmon Killebrew's 500th home run.
Which he hasn't reached yet. He has 298. And Harmon again is not in the lineup today.
Steve Vaughan will lead off at second base, taking over for Rock Perot, who has a mild cold. Cedar Cobar is in right field. Cobar in right. Rick Reep will be the first baseman. Reep at first.
Leo Cardenas, the shortstop. Cardenas at short. Jim Holt. Holt will be in center field. He will bat fifth.
Grant Allier, again, inserted and left. George Midderwald will be the captain this afternoon.
O'Fran George Thomas inserted over at third as Vaughan moves to second to take over for Peru.
So Thomas is at third. And young right-hander Steve Luber, 21 years of age, he hits that double-deuce mark tomorrow from Missouri on the mound. Luber with a record of 0-1. This will be his third outing. And he hasn't earned run average of an even seventh.
So Luber to face Sandy Alomar batting from the left-hand side. We're set to get underway. And for the play, here's Dick Hinder. Thank you, Dave. Good morning, everybody.
Sandy Alomar, Mickey Rivers, and Tony Gonzalez to face young right-hander Steve Luber. A beautiful day, 76 degrees. the wind has shifted. It's out of the northwest at nine miles an hour.
We had southerly winds the last two nights. It was much more humid. And of course, we had plenty of rain last evening.
Luber winds the first pitch of the game. It's taken for a strike. A fastball on the inside corner. Larry McCoy calling the balls and strikes. Jim Odom at first. Marty Springstead at second. And Jim Honachick at third base.
Alomar's average now up to 247. He has five hits in the series. Luber rocks into motion. One strike pitch is a change. Bounces in. One and one. George Midderwald behind the plate.
the infield of Thomas at third. Cardenas at short. Braun at second. Reese the first baseman. Allier in left. Holden center. Sovar in right field.
That starting lineup of manager Dol Rignes decimated by injuries and sickness. Luber's one-one delivery. Swung on, bounced out toward the mound. Luber comes up with it easily on the first for the F.
And Alomar is retired on a tamper back to Luber. That brings up the little left-handed hitting center fielder, Mickey Rivers. Rivers' average, 241.
Rivers used that to pinch runner last night and scored what proved to be the winning run. He had a couple of doubles in the first game of this series on Tuesday.
Three of Mickey's, make that four of Mickey's seven hits, double. Ground ball sharply toward the hole. Cut off by Braun. He gets the out at first. Good play.
Braun ranging far to his left side to handle that hard hit ground ball off the bat of Mickey Rivers.
Here's left fielder Tony Gonzalez hitting 241. Luber has retired the first two angels that he has faced on ground ball.
Tony T. with a 241 average. Two other day games scheduled in the major leagues. Oakland will be at Chicago. They're just starting. And later this afternoon, Houston at San Francisco.
Luber winds the pitch. Change. Floats outside. Luber with a fastball curve and a straight change. Occasionally will throw the slider.
Wind blowing out. the pitch. A strike. Fastball down the middle. One and one. John Stephenson is on deck.
Angel trying to make it four in a row before going to Oakland and facing Vita Blue. the pitch.
Fry called on the outside edge. One and two to Tony G. Fred Caney coaching at first base and Rocky Bridges at third.
Luber's one two pitch. Curve, flung out and line foul into the box seats beyond the Minnesota dugout on the first base side.
A vendor came up with a baseball. Just stuck it away with all the peanuts.
One two pitch. Bounce straight to Luber on one. He goes to first and the inning's over. So Luber keeps the Angels in the infield in a one two three first inning.
And after a half inning, the Angels nothing. Minnesota coming to bat.
Dave, you know how to spot a happy family without even knowing them? Well, since that sounds like the opening line of a commercial, I'd better say look for a family in a Dotson.
More specifically, a Dotson five door wagon. It's the economy wagon that offers all the things you'd buy a big wagon for. the head of the household is happy because he's got a car he can commute in during the week.
Then for the weekend, he just folds down the rear seat and he's got plenty of room to haul in the lumber he needs for that remodeling job he's doing.
And I know why his wife is happy. She's got a smart new way to get the kids from here to there. the shopping from store to home, herself to the beauty shop, and then on to the bridge game picking up some of the other girls on the way.
You sound like the voice of experience. Well, it's easy to see that a Dotson five door wagon really makes good sense as a family car. It doesn't cost a lot to buy.
It gives you gas mileage of up to 25 miles to the gallon. It's got plenty of room for the whole family. And like every other Dotson model, it's loaded with extras that don't cost extra.
Sort of hard to beat. All I can add is see the small car expert, your nearby Southern California Dotson dealer. See if he can't make your whole family happy.
Drive a Dotson. Send it back.
Right hander Tom Murphy for the angels looking for his fifth win. Bested by Vida Blue in a great pitching battle at Anaheim Stadium on the 4th of July, two to one.
Murphy will face Steve Braun, Cesar Tovar, and Rich Reese in the first inning for the twins. Defensively, John Stevenson is catcher.
McMullin in third, O'Brien in short, Alomar in second, Spencer the first baseman. the outfields from left to right, Gonzalez, Rivers, and Tony Canigliaro.
Jim Fragosi went to Mayo Clinic yesterday for an examination. Three doctors looked at his foot and confirmed the neuroma on the bottom of his right foot and recommended an operation.
And word is that Fragosi will be operated upon during the All-Star break. the pitch to the left-handed hitting Braun is inside a fastball.
A prognosis after the operation, possibly three weeks later, Fragosi could return to the lineup.
Aligned by Murphy, the pitch, curved inside and low, 2-0.
I know it's a great relief for the Angel shortstop that something is going to be done. It's something that has plagued him and emotionally, knowing that he's not 100%, it's been tough on a very capable Angel veteran.
And if things go well with the operation, he could be back in the lineup early in August so he could finish the last two months of the year.
Mel Stottlemeyer had the same problem in his one bad year with the Yankees and Mel said the operation just after the season was over and two weeks later he was hunting and fishing and he said he couldn't believe how good he felt and how the foot had improved.
It's a fairly simple operation and Fragosi has made the decision to have it done based upon the recommendation of three doctors.
Pitch to Braun, a strike, 2-1. Stevenson had gone out to talk with Murphy and apparently there was some problem in reading his signals.
the pitch, line drive, base hit, center field, Braun, tenth one up the middle, Rivers plays it back in and the twins have the game's first baserunner, Braun batting 2-39.
the right fielder, Cesar Tobar, hitting 2-93.
Little right handed batter.
Always tough. Murphy from the belt to pitch. Change is butted up the third baseline, foul. Murphy knocked it with his glove to make sure that it is cold foul.
One strike on Tobar.
the twins, a team with good left handed hitting, have found themselves five games under 500 against right handed pitching.
In the past with guys like Oliva and Caru, it was felt that the way to beat the twins was with good left handed pitching.
But it's the right handers that have been getting the twins this year and with a lot of Oliva's you consider that he has missed 23 games and still has over a hundred hits.
And by far the top hitter in the American League. It's been a tremendous loss for Minnesota and then to lose to LeBrou and now Caru today.
Murphy with another throw to first and Braun back with a skip and a hop.
the ball is underway, no score. Braun leading off the Minnesota first inning with a base hit and the count is one strike on Tobar.
Reese to follow the pitch. Taken low, gets away from Stevenson but not far enough for any advance.
Try to hear the news of two of the starters for the American League in the All-Star game, Boog Powell and Ray Fossey apparently will not see duty next Tuesday in Detroit.
Throw to first and Braun back before the tag. Fossey with a ligament problem in his left hand and Powell with a hairline fracture of the wrist.
Minnesota first and Braun back. Ben Morgan is the coach for the twins there at first base and across the way Frankie Croffetti hands cup to his mouth,
shouting support to the hitter and to the baserunner. Murphy settles to the belt, his 1-1 pitch just outside with a slider, 2-1.
Murphy very deliberate here in the opening inning with Steve Braun, a good baserunner at first. Again the throw to first base and Braun had only a one step lead.
Good crowd on this Thursday afternoon. It's a 10th annual fly-in, more than 150 small planes flying into the Twin Cities for the action.
the runner goes, the pitch is grounded over the head of Murphy, charged by Alomar. Throw to first, not in time.
Braun breaking for second base and Kovar throwing his bat at the ball, sent a little one hopper over Murphy's head.
And Alomar moving to cover second base, was able to come up with a ball on the edge of the grass in front of second,
but by the time he played it over to Spencer it was too late to get the speedy Kovar.
Murphy in disgust with that kind of hit just takes the rosin bag and throws it over his right shoulder back on the grass.
Braun at second, Kovar at first, no one out. Here's Rich Reese, swings, grounds it to the left side. O'Brien goes to second for one, that's all they'll get.
Alomar after getting the forest, tops his arm making sure that Braun didn't round too far at third. He was going to throw over to third base.
the runners at third and first one up, Cardenas the hitter and WePaws for station identification.
From the Met in Bloomington, Minnesota, this is the Angels Radio Network.
And your Arizona baseball station for Angels baseball is KMND radio in Mesa, Arizona. It's 28 and a half minutes past the hour of 11 o'clock.
When threatening in the first inning, Leo Cardenas moved into the number four slot in the batting order by Regnus, the hitter, the pitch,
low and outside with a fastball. At third base, Steve Braun. At first, Rich Reese on the fielder's choice.
Jim Holt would be next. Cardenas hitting 286 as ten home runs and a very impressive RBI count, 43.
He figures to be named by Weaver as one of his backup infielders for the All-Star game.
Murphy ready, the pitch. Swung on and missed. Good fastball. Right-hander against right-hander.
the outfield playing Cardenas is shade toward right center. They give him the gap in left center field.
Infield back. They'll give up a run for a chance at a double play.
Right-hander's pitch. Swung on a drive to right field. Canegliero has to go back on it. Makes the catch. Braun tagged field score easily from third.
the twins lead one to nothing.
Cardenas with his 44th RBI on the line drive sacrifice fly. Reese holds at first base with two out here center fielder Jim Holt. Holt batting 273.
George Brant-Alier moves into the on deck circle. Hold of green tee left-handed hitter. Close stance.
He stands direct in the batter's box. the pitch inside ball one. the twins get a run in the bottom of the first inning.
Reese with Spencer holding him on. the pitch. Curve. Waved at and missed. A change curve and Holt pulls at a one-handed swing.
the Angels will welcome a new outfielder when they fly to Oakland for tomorrow night's opener of the four game weekend series. Tommy Reynolds will be there waiting for the Californians.
Recall from Salt Lake City. the pitch. Inside corner for a called strike and it's one and two to Jim Holt. He thought it was too far in.
And of course when Fregoti has his operation then the Angels will bring up somebody to replace him.
One ball two strikes to count. the pitch by Murphy. Inside at the weight.
Tony Oliva with that tremendous start hitting 374 an 18 home run. Nearly 50 RBI.
And yet he's missed almost well over three weeks of play. There goes Reese. the pitch flung on and missed. Strike three. It was a foul tipped.
And Stevenson after juggling the ball was able to come up with it on the second chance just before it hit the ground.
Murphy with a strikeout to end the first inning. A run on two hits. No errors and a man left for Minnesota. And after one wins one. Angels nothing.

John Spencer, John Spencer.
1-0 Minnesota, top of the second, John Stevenson, Ken McMullen, and Jim Spencer to hit against young right hander Steve Luber.
Luber takes an unusual position before starting his wind up. He's almost facing the third base Dungog with his left foot way off the side of the rubber.
He rocks into motion, right hander delivers, swung on and popped up. Middle of the diamond, George Thomas the third baseman in front of the mound, lets it drop!
George Thomas at the last second saw Rick Reese coming over from first base and the ball dropped between them.
Stevenson will be credited I imagine with a base hit. No one touched the ball.
Luber the pitcher, it's his job to call out the man he thinks could catch it.
And it's possible that the rookie was mute on the play and at the last second Thomas figured it was Reese and Reese figured it was Thomas and Stevenson winds up with a gift single.
Landing about 50 feet in front of the play.
John the leading angel hitter with a 2.95 average. Here's Ken McMullen batting 2.50. He looks at a strike.
Mack with 11 home runs and 36 runs batted in. He has four runs batted in in the two game series.
Angel fan the tying run at first. Luber at the belt for the first time.
the pitch, swung on and rounded into right field for a base hit. Stevenson at the round second on his way to third.
Tobar's throw is going to be close. It's cut off by Cardenas and Stevenson rolls into third base.
the ball almost hit John Stevenson as McMullen who has been working on hitting the ball to right field executed the hit behind the runner perfectly.
He found the gap between Reese and the second baseman Braun and grounded it right through the legs of the runner Stevenson as he was hampering the second base.
Runners at third and first and no one out in the second inning. And here's first baseman Jim Spencer.
Angel's trail won nothing. the small car expert has asked us to invite you to come on in. Let him help you pick the perfect Dotson for you.
Remember he's the expert. Your Southern California Dotson dealer. So see him soon.
Spencer, second to McMullen and RBI's on the club has 29 and a chance to tie it up with an out.
the ball will play back looking for a double play chance. Stevenson just fair speed at third. McMullen at first.
Luber from the belt to pit. Low ball one. the outfield. Pulled toward right.
Some nervous pacing out in the Minnesota bullpen but no one's throwing.
Young right hander Steve Luber. Good size. Six three and one ninety five.
At the belt checks McMullen and looks at Stevenson and the pit. Change for a strike.
Well thrown. He kept it in tight on Jim Spencer. One and one the count.
Luber is a junior majoring in physical education at Missouri Southern College. Makes his home in Joplin, Missouri.
His father, professional baseball player and infielder in the Cleveland Indians chain never made it to the big club.
Luber says the one one pit. Spencer lays off the change and it's two and one. Ball was down low.
the angels with twenty five hits in the first two games of the series.
And there's nothing like a lot of base hits to make a ball club feel well and you can sense that in the entire roster.
Everyone getting a lift by the improved hitting. the pit.
Long on bounce off the head of the bat toward second. the run comes in to throw the first base for the out and the game is tied. One one.
Spencer did not hit it hard off the end of the bat but he rolled it by Luber and Steve Braun then had to charge in his only play.
But for the first baseman race Stevenson scores from third and McCullen moves in destroying position at second.
Thirty RBI for Jim Spencer.
Tony can make the arrow hitting to twenty seven.
Interwalt calls time and meets Luber halfway to the mound on deck said O'Brien.
the angels.
With a perfect mark here at the Met with five straight wins.
And there's seven and two against Minnesota on the season.
Technically arrow a fill of the screen just Tuesday morning at their mouth.
Possible role in the new TV series. the pitch.
A strike with a slider.
the part involves a motorcycle policeman.
McMullen from second with one out of the second a one one tie. Luber checks the runner.
the one strike that hung on a fly ball to center right at him hold he misjudges it and then comes in to make the catch.
Hold kept waiting for the ball to get out to him and at the last moment he had to race in to make the play on the run.
McMullen is second and your shortstop did O'Brien with first base open.
Interwalt looked into the Minnesota dugout to see whether or not he wants to put O'Brien on and take his chances on Murphy.
Murphy the top angel pitcher in terms of knocking in runs this year.
Murphy has six RBI.
They're going to pitch to O'Brien batting to twenty three.
Luber banks off the rubber call time and wipes something around the right eye.
Luber may wear contacts that actually don't make a contact that lands in the right eye.
McMullen the second to us.
Luber at the belt of this curve foul back on the screen and O'Brien got a hanging curve ball but couldn't get it solidly.
Oh I'd like to have that one back.
Lower deck bleachers out on left field about half full today.
A lot of youngsters a lot of senior citizens here for the management at the Met today.
the pitch high one and one Interwalt wanted the ball on outside and the change was high and inside.
Singles by Stevenson and McMullen and Spencer's ground ball out getting the angels the time run in the second inning.
And O'Brien awaiting the one one pitch with a chance to put the angels in the front.
Luber's pitch outside with a curve two and one.

the angels get the run to tie on two hits no airs and leave one and after an inning and a half angels one Minnesota one.
You.
Need to.
Everybody has a favorite beer the one they say for those special occasions.
Well if Budweiser is your favorite beer why not make it your regular beer too.
Don't you deserve the best.
Go all the way.
You said it all.
Well proven.
I won one time and there's been a boring change made by the official score here at the Met.
I believe it's George Thomas who will get the air but on Stevenson fly ball that.
Without being cut in front of the mound to lead off the second takes the hit away from Stevenson an error has been charged so that makes it an unearned run the total sense of the angels in the secondary to run on a hit an error and one left.
Randall you lead off the bottom of the second and look for the fastball inside.
Alia.
Alia Mitterwald and George Thomas three right handed hitters to face Murphy in the second.
the pitch one on ground ball and one hop to McClellan hit hard but Mac right there to throw him out by 30 feet.
After all the rain and heavily soaked outfield last night the tremendous drainage system here at Metropolitan Stadium and the turf could not be in better shape.
George Mitterwald hitting 247.
Dave Nehau has checked with the official score and it is George Thomas who is charged with the air.
the pitch inside ball one somewhat unusual in that usually when the ball drops that way confusion by infielders or outfielders that hit is given changes one and in line down the left field line racing over.
He cuts it off Mitterwald round first and he'll hold on a long single fast fielding by Gonzalez and a tap throw back and Mitterwald just does get the first base ahead of the tag by Jim Spencer Alomar noting Mitterwald not throwing back the first after taking his turn.
Alomar has to throw over to Spencer and almost got Mitterwald in a casual move returning to the bag.
Long single from Mitterwald third hit off Murphy. Here's George Thomas he swings and lines it into the second deck.
Mitterwald at first base one out a one one tie. Thomas has only one hit in 18 at bat and joining the twins.
George is returning home he was born here in Minneapolis and went to the University of Minnesota.
the pitch a strike on the inside corner going to Thomas signed out of the University of Minnesota baseball program by the Detroit Tigers.
the pitch checked his swing played umpire McCoy says he held back and here comes Lefty Phillips.
He wants McCoy to ask for help from first base umpire Odom it appeared that Thomas had a pretty good swing and Phillips is now asking for help from Odom and Odom immediately says no no he didn't go around.
One ball two strikes on Thomas.
Thomas is on duty with the angels in 61 62 and 63 now 33 years old.
One of the funny men in the game great sense of humor.
Hit by Murphy serves one on a little flying foul territory Spencer racing into foul territory over the shoulder catch by Spencer as he makes the basket basket grab about 1520 feet foul and racing down into the right field corner.
Good play by Spencer for the second out.
the pitcher Luber Luber has been up just three times no hit.
the two pitchers in this game physically built very much alike.
Both are six three Luber a little heavier about 10 pounds heavier than Murphy at 195.
And three years younger before Murphy can throw for a six Luber backs out of the batter's box and again wiping it is high.
One one tie two out the fifth but it out in front of the plate Murphy up with it goes to first and plenty of time as Luber tried to bond his way on Murphy throws out the opposing pitcher no run to hit no man left the twin story in the second inning and after two at the match the angels won Minnesota won.
You know when you're the only one to do something is kind of special.
Ted Williams being the only man to hit 400 for a full season in the last 40 years Continental Airlines has a distinction that may not quite rival the splendid splinters but they're mighty proud of it. They have the only 747 service from Los Angeles directly to Denver.
They're not just a little bit groovy yet intimate and luxurious with comfort and personal attention.
Well you just can't get on any other airline and coach and economy is stretched out with first class leg room and wherever you sit whatever you pay.
You have the added pleasure with Don well Dave Nehauz and Dick Nelson this is Dick Enberg at Metropolitan Stadium in Bloomington Minnesota the total is after two the angels a run on a hit and no errors Minnesota one run three hits and one error.
In the top of the third inning it'll be Murphy and Alomar and Rivers to oppose right hander Steve Luber and I call it for you.
Here's Don well thank you.
Let's have Murphy lead it off the angels with one hit then they may have been given a Stevenson earlier taken away and an error charge to George Thomas.
And interesting how they determined about the placement of the error lined by Luber and the pitch on the way and the fastball is low on our side ball one. It appeared that George Thomas was a bit on the first base right of the fixing circle when that ball dropped in.
But apparently they must have called down to the Minnesota bench to make some sort of determination.
Well delivery is one on a long drive all down the line this will sail off well up into the bleacher seat.
Back beyond that and back to the grass embankment down the left of the line the count is one and one.
Daddy Alomar will follow Sandy a tap out the mound his first time up.
Steve Luber into the motion and the pitch fastball buzzed over the outside edge one and two.
It looks like one of those short arm pitchers the darks are in that fastball seems to be very sneaky fast one to delivery now and it's a curve and line drive base that center field.
So Murphy is on.
That'll bring up second baseman Sandy Alomar and Sandy over one.
In addition to the fly in promotion that they have with all of the pilots coming from various areas with their small aircraft their private aircraft.
There's also a ladies day out here senior citizens day family day.
So as a result of very fine turn on this Thursday afternoon Alomar batting left handed that overly close stance and Luber getting ready at the belt the pitch on the way and Sandy
first of all at the first base side but Luber picked it up goes to second gets one there and that's all they'll get.
One of all by Alomar that he angles toward the mound and Steve Luber able to pick it up very easily and the flip side to Leo Coginus the shortstop covering a second base.
So Murphy is gone the angels have one down one on and the batter will be center field of Mickey Rivers and Mickey has bounced out to Steve Braun his first time up.
Mickey wandering around behind the plate umpire and look up the line towards Sandy Alomar and the look toward the third base judge Rocky Bridges.
That's taken by Luber and look over the shoulder toward the end of the pitch that's all there for striking the two on one.
the group that came in from Fergus Falls to win the group title in their play and 31 person lands about here at White Cloud Airport not too distant from Metropolitan Stadium.
Play taken by Sandy and he will draw a pot.
the angels and the plans even up one one top half of the third now so with more of a message to it to drive Alomar back.
Sandy with 21 stolen bases and thought of the four times if you got to longer late at the dive back.
To make this young man work always with the possibility and they throw it away and I'm trying to get him to concentrate on what might happen here.
One strike on Rivers Alomar goes and the pitch was a third to second base and they won't get it.
With his 20 seconds stolen base a big jump on the pitcher Luber it was a running start for Sandy Alomar and the throw by a middle wall through the cardinal not nearly a time.
So Sandy with his 20 seconds Rivers remains at the planet Maccada Mickey is ball one and strike one.
And Tony Gonzalez watches all this from the undec position.
Luber now getting himself out of the one one delivery on the way the Rivers curve cut on pop up to be on the right side of the infield.
I had to set the Tony Gonzalez now from the angels standpoint here on the top half of the third with a game even at one one angels one run to hit and Minnesota one run.
Alomar backing out to rather lengthy lead at second base.
Luber gets it ready and here's the first pitch Tony Gonzalez.
So Tony rocks out his first home run for 1971 in a big spot here the angels lead 3-1.
Sandy Alomar cross on plate and he greets Tony Gonzalez as Gonzalez rips it out 365 feet away into the small bleacher section out toward the world corner of the starboard in right field.
And Gonzalez then with his first home run the angels now lead 3-1 and for the Californians their third hit and the home run the distance three hundred and seventy four feet.
And just as it was Tony's first home run of the year the first major league home run offered by young Steve Luber he's been touched up.
All right the batter now John Stevenson and the motion and the picture on the way to John five all straight away center field.
No problem.
But maybe now hope coming in late and hope now one handed as he charges in the shallow center field.
So Jim Hope getting a light break on the fly ball but comes in and makes the grab to retire the side.
For the angels though two runs in the inning they're the two hits the big one the home run by Tony Gonzalez.
No errors and nobody left and the score at the end of the top of the third angels three Minnesota one.
Hello small car expert you're on the air.
You want to turn your radio down please.
I'm sorry a small car expert did you tell that last caller that there's a perfect Datsun for everyone.
Yes I did.
Small car expert you're on the air.
I'm looking for a zippy two door sedan.
Try the Datsun 510 goes from zero to sixty in less than 14 seconds.
But it's got to be comfortable.
It is.
Small car expert.
Listen I've had it with my small cars kids climbing on me dog with a hot tongue panning all over the backseat.
I need more room.
I'd suggest the Datsun 510 four door plenty of room and at a very low cost.
How about a station wagon.
Datsun makes a five door wagon plenty of extras included in the purchase price.
Does Datsun make a truck.
Yep the perfect pickup little hustler America's best selling import truck. Listen I've got to take another call.
Anything else.
Yeah.
If my husband was you.
Drive a Datsun then decide.
To help you pick your favorite Datsun see the small car expert your nearby Southern California Datsun dealer.
Drive a Datsun then decide.
Moving out of the last half of the third with the angels down in front.
Three one Minnesota will start it off with their lead man.
Second baseman Steve Rod as Rod Carew with a bad cold is out of the lineup today.
It'll be Ron Tovar and Rick.
Sticking on our conversation with Joe Rigney last night and we were talking about a couple of individuals on this team.
One being Cesar Tovar and the other Leo Cognizant and without with the absence of Tony Oliva and Harmon Kilibrew.
And we're talking about leadership on the Minnesota team that Tovar performs best when he can look over his shoulder and see those two guys in the lineup behind him.
I think it's something that we easily overlook the fact that teams with the great star the great hitter maybe a couple of good hitters Boston with a Reggie Smith and a Kyle Jostremski.
And the other hitters become better ballplayers because they know they've got the big guy in the lineup and even if they don't hit someone like a Jostremski or a Kilibrew or Oliva will get the hit.
the pressure is telling on Tovar and Cardenas.
They're not the same ballplayers that that perform with the full lineup active for Minnesota.
And frankly in the first two games this season series we've never seen Tovar look quite so bad.
He seems to be pressing and over swinging.
And another thing he just he gets a feeling that he isn't enjoying the game as much.
That may be rather critical but it just appears that way that he isn't enjoying things as much as when he has Tony Oliva and Carmen Kilibrew on the lineup.
And the way for Sandy Elomar Sandy went back into the dugout for perhaps an exchange for sunglasses and Elomar out of the spot a second base now waiting for Tom Murphy to deal here with Steve Brown the fastball over the inside edge like one.
Brown had a base that is first time up and he checked across with the Minnesota run.
So the angels lead it by a pair three to one early in the game.
We're right back to the plate and a curve that travels a little bit high one and one.
So far Tom Murphy has given up three hits one was an infield hit by Tovar.
Ron with a single and George Medarol with a base there the minutes and a one one to the three and it's high and tight ball two two and one.
the glorious day here in the city I deal with it and the pitch Murphy fastball right away ball three three and one.
Right back three one and left him one post ball four.
This is KMND radio in Mesa, Arizona.
It's 12 o'clock.
So far the batter and the pitch on the way and so far I think the fastball high ball one.
After all we've said about Sovar is liable to explode right here.
So far with the infield hit in the first inning.
Ron with his way the pitch so far away from the second base and he's in there.
the throwing out for Ken McMullen has a throw was well out in front of Jim Spencer and no chance for Jim to try to handle it cleanly.
This one then rebounds off the railing in front of the back seat.
the broad man getting up on his feet and traveling the second base.
So Sovar lines to Ken McMullen and the angels shooting for a double play failed to get it and the net result is that Ron winds up in a throwing pot.
the first time up one down from Minnesota last half of the third and the pitch that's all the way almost all the way.
Just stop made by Stevenson as he runs to his left.
Tom Murphy eyes Stevenson for the time so the curve and it's in there for a strike off the breaking ball one and one.
With Tom Murphy and the 11 losses that Murphy has suffered.
Rather incredible situation right here that the angels have three runs in support of Murphy's early fastball rip down in one and two.
This combined like really 11 losses without coming back to the record books again.
I believe the angels have scored only seven runs in the 11 defeats of Murphy.
It absorbed the season so they have a little right here.
Next up is the ground ball off of the first base.
I spent the move then picked it up.
It goes to the bag very easy play for Jim as this ball is bounced almost to the back and sent to take care of Reese.
Ron goes to third and Tony Gonzalez moving more away from the left field line now as Cardenas gets ready to find himself with a batter's box after dealing with a prime car.
Mecci Rivers and straightaway center field.
Tony Caniglio.
Normal depth out in right field but Gonzalez some distance off the left field line with the right hander card in the set so they're playing him in that direction after our left center field.
Murphy eyes are on her.
Ron at third he comes well down the line.
the pitch is cut on five all twice the other way down the right field line.
It will drop out of play into the season.
You know officially canvassing the Minnesota organization concerning the Washington franchise and of course Minnesota the Griffith Robertson plan very much involved at one time with that Washington franchise the old Washington Senator and it's like today they curve and it's been too close to count as one on one.
the feeling is that the senators will move.
And the feeling is that they will move to Dallas.
Now Murphy getting ready for the one on pitch here at the Leo Cardenas to down blonde around the third and here comes the pitch on good change by Murphy way down and miss one and two.
the story has it that Bob short the owner of the senators needs more than just a reduction in the rent at Kennedy Stadium from the Washington DC armory board he needs about three million dollars.
One to five on the right side going to be that that handles the top dispenser for the.
I have a look of the infield grass and it took off on a very erratic up with daddy Elomar reacting well to it.
Picked it up and feed the dispenser and that's all for Minnesota.
No one no hit one or one man left at the end of three angels three minutes on one as a motorist.
You may be asking does every 10 work two hundred and ninety seven cars representing California's total car population tested Chevron gasoline with F310.
Here's what some of the participants said after the test Mrs.
Mary Buchanan the car always smoked ever since we bought it it's smoked but it has controlled the smoking by using F310.
It doesn't smoke as much.
Mr. J.C. McDougall I'd say that my motor seems to run better smoother and it seems like a clean new motor rather than a used car.
While not all cars in the test showed emission reductions hydrocarbon exhaust was reduced an average 13.9 percent for the group as a whole.
Carbon monoxide was reduced an average eleven point six percent.
Mr. Earl Hudspeth the car seems to got better pick up this Marsha Amici.
It's just like a brand new car when I use F310 in it.
F310 it works.

inning and the pitch that ball

Inspector will be up next and
then Tony can lay off the
board.
He's a play three one.
One of the angels have played
this job that this year every
year for that three nothing
pitch up on the outside and
the first strike to make a three

Dave Lover the right handed
deals the pitch has got on and
Clarence Powell going to be on
the plane on the first base
side.
We're now waiting for a three

business.
Tightly guard that right side
too.
Tennessee to go that way.
Max Wang put this down the
right field line foul.
Again the call and trying to go
in that direction.
Good beat on this one and why

All right, the matter is Jim Spencer.
McMuffin on the first base.
Nobody out here for the Angels in the fourth.

Leonard Righthander goes to work, and Jim drives a foul back on the screen for strike one.
Dick Nelson has just presented me a batch of cards.
They look like personal cards. They have various messages on them.
These are your mother?
Did mom give you these?
She was on a bus to work.
Got these cards?
To Winona, huh?
Now there are a few messages on here that we can't pass along, but...
Very interesting cards, Dick.
the first strike delivery, Ben Flang drives a fly ball out of the right field.
Kovar back on the warning track for this one, and Kovar picks it off.
About 370 feet away.
So, Ben's running well. He didn't get everything that he wanted out of that pitch.
But he drives Kovar back on the warning track.
the Angels have one down, McFarland back to first base, and the batter will be Tony Canigliaro.
So, there's one card that Dick has passed along to me.
This is compliments of the hot fish shop in Winona, Minnesota.
And the card says, Isn't this a beautiful day?
Just watch some guy louse it up.
At the pitch, the T

Did you know Bush Gardens is open seven days a week from now until September.
Plan to spend today there's soon low admission, fun for the entire family.

It's an experience you'll never forget.

the landlord reduces the rent that isn't going to ease that piece of financial pain too much.
Murphy the batter bases jammed and the infield plays for two.
Murphy half swing, curve ball and strike one.
Dan Williams is now throwing in the bullpen.
Williams and Strickland have been at work as Steve Luber tries to work his way out of a touch spot here with only one down on the bases jam.
And the fastball low with it one and one.
You have a sign out there the board says howdy.
Unity, chilly and Polk County, Wisconsin.
Oh, chilly Wisconsin. That's just got on live foul and they pushed out a play.
Come out to the stadium on a day like this and the way the weather is and really is kind of a seems like a state fair day today.
So the feeling is going to have a few sack races as soon as this one ends.
One, two, delivery.
Murph swings and misses high a fastball.
That's how Murphy strikes out and it's going to be up to Sandy Alomar to try to fortify the Angels three to one lead.
I figure that the addictive sack race catch the great big contest immediately follow.
Women with their own fans selling some baked goods.
Rise for the best password.
Danny Alomar batting left handed the following around a third. He's the lead man here.
the Alomar drives the foul upstairs and out of play in the count of strike one.
Come on the third.
Tony can agree on the right of a second base and the Angels have been a Brian at first base.
So after the intentional walk was given up to Brian with Murphy do next and he struck out Murph.
So now the Angels have two away here in the top half of the fourth inning.
We'll find out what manner of man Steve Luber is when it's a pressure point.
One strike that curve inside one to one.
the difficulties for baseball today I believe is the fact that they have forced that too many pitchers.
But he won one delivery that's all filed away.
I said what do you mean by that.
I think a case in point is but why 11 of the Minnesota staff.
I've got a lot of work and my just in the pitching coach certainly an agreement and I think you're ready to.
But the twins were forced into a corner they needed some pitching and they needed it.
Quickly and why 11 was brought up but brought up too soon.
For the man that could have had another year perhaps two years in the minor league here's the one to offering now curve line drive line drive base hit right field Oh I said it's funny.
the base guard.
So to the plate not in time and
on the third goes to Brian on
the second base goes down the
bar.
No the angels lead by one.
Daddy on a line of big clutch
spot here.
the youngsters the Lover and
Sandy collects to RBI.
No Regney coming out that will
be off for the youngster.
And this is what Minnesota
finding itself in this
particular position then.
It's the same thing for Detroit.
You look at the box for the
Tigers you see all the new
pitching names that have come
along in a short period of time
these men who have been run up
from their Toledo farm far very
quickly and the net result is a
from a maturity standpoint.
Have to figure maturity not only
from a physical angle but from a
mental angle as well and some of
these young men are just not
prepared certainly has to be the
case with Steve Lover who is
giving the ball to Bill Regney
right now.
Young Steve leading the mom in
two cases Dave Larros and Lloyd
Allen.
We talk about young people and
how they can stand the pressures
of this game and it figures that
say at age 20 or age 18 age 19
20 21 pressure of the sport when
you're the middleman out there
and you're surrounded perhaps by
veterans and you're trying to do
a job that really calls for a
veteran pitcher for the angels
with the left hand and right
hand a combination of Larros and
Allen.
We're saying the other night
that this probably is the best
left handed right hand
combination since the Motsy and
our last game.
John Motsy and Ray and our last
game before the American League
with the Cleveland Broncos and
I'm sure in trying to analyze
the whole logic here involving
a young man when is he old enough
to pitch and I think we all
become confused by chronological
ages.
I guess the best example for the
twenty nine years of the
twenty one year old who are in
terms of their own emotional
maturity much older than that.
Floyd Allen at 19 seemed to have
the poise of a man 25 26 years
old and the other side of the
world.
He has a great emotional
stability that has allowed him
not only to pitch well but then
handled the incredible pressure
that is mounted from the press
as he has been so successful
during the year.
Not all 21 year olds are so well
blessed.
I think that Rick would probably
be very quick to agree that in
the case of the Minnesota staff
and I imagine that Billy Martin
if we had Billy here with that
Detroit ball club and the changes
he has made and the young men
that we have seen them run back
and forth between Toledo and
Detroit he would say the same
thing that we are.
We have these young men on a
pressure cooker.
We need their services now and
it's unfortunate that we have to
use them as quickly at this level
as we have to.
They're really not given a
chance.
I know for the angels they worry
that Mickey Rivers might have
been called upon to sing.
Ideally they would like to have
rivers play the entire year at
Salt Lake City but because of
injuries and other problems
here's rivers at the plate right
now and maybe for his own
betterment for the future he
could still be at Salt Lake
City.
Another case in point would be
Rick Park and to see what has
happened to Rick now that he's
been able to come back to the
major league level and after
some very shattering experiences
before the pitch on the way the
river is good curve drawn by Jim
Strickland as a new pitcher and
he bends it through the left
hander dealing with rivers here
and he runs the strike through
the plate.
Mickey over to Sandy Alomar the
one of the second base that a
Brian around the third angels
late 5 1 4th inning and the
best one on how that like to
see what Strickland has done.
This is only a tenth of
parents he has worked 12 and a
fraction in a given up eight
hits walks extra out nine
interesting note about
Strickland doing the run and
earn run the private curve
five minutes I wanted to unless
they made a mistake but
Strickland in his nine
appearances the opposition has
scored seven runs and none of
the seven have been earned back
with the next pitch curve wave
that one handed by the heat to
strike three so the angels are
gone in the fourth inning but
they make some noise here
collecting two runs three hits
in the inning no errors in a
parallel to the score at the
end of the top of the fourth
angels five Minnesota one.
You said it.
Last night for the fourth
inning this is John Wells the
second berg and Dick Nelson and
nice to have you with us along
our angel network line.
We hope you're having a very
nice day wherever you happen to
be located and listening to
Santa.
There's one card here that Dick
Nelson's mother has passed along
compliments of the hot fish
shop and went on over the
other side of the field.
Here I am just as charming and
sexy as you dreamed I did.
I was dedicated to John Paul
it to my TV director sitting up
behind us here this afternoon
is the pitch on the way to Jim
Hall.
That's well known for a while.
I've never seen a defenseman yet
that would be called sexy.
I'm not back to Murphy's the
pitch is picked up by a Murph
after the battered ball by hope
plans rather than drive in the
top of Spencer for the out of
Minnesota has one down and bring
up the left fielder Brad Elliott
who said that a lot about goalie
too I think.
Here's one card.
She's passed along.
I would like very much to make
love to you tonight.
And in parentheses it says if
you are not interested please
return this card to me as they
are very expensive.
I'm not going to do that.
And it is a kind of on a good
grade of being an old printer.
So that's a good grade of stock.
I can tell it's a good time.

it's a lovely end and I'm in no

That's on the way.
Bert fires the fastball over the
outer edge for a strike and a

card printed up something that
was a lot of you.
That's a high curve.
Quick curve done by Murphy's
fun on and this time that are
well known to involving him in
America last year.
Two billion dollars in this
handed out twice the amount in
nineteen fifty and you know what
to mean.
I would say it's just like that
one on five all going to be
a lot of people are going out
for it and that's what it's
taken in for the out.
Actually those are three words
now that I've gone that far I
can't remember the three words
the IP stand for to ensure
problems.
That would be nice to leave
sometime when someone expected
to get a simply that car.
It means to ensure problem.
You know what was the amount
that is two billion dollars.
I dropped a billion last night.
I just a billion last night.
I ran out the car.

That's the story here for
Minnesota the story at the end

minutes on a line.
Our producer Dave Nehau
suggested for me we have a
commercial right here.
Now the vacation season is well
upon us.
There is a suggestion on how to
spend yours.
Come home this summer.
Take the family to see the
family.
You certainly get that feeling
when you're up here in the
Minneapolis St.
Paul area.
Come on home when you go home
travel like the angels do.
Don't drive but fly.
And that's that way you spend
more of your vacation on
vacation.
Compton Little makes it easy

So forget about all the
preparation for driving.
Call your travel agent instead
he'll make all of your fine
arrangements and see that you
get one of continental low
special affairs.
So come home this summer.
No place like home and do it on
continental airlines.

It was against the angels May

He picked up the win.
Stevenson 0 for 2.
Upon the handle the pitch by
Strickland hung on a man.
I want to think about that
business.
I'll go into that venture with
you.
I think there will be a

has not given you good service
and just land nicely printed

First pitch to George Thomas is

ground going back still back and
makes the catch at the edge of

Thomas hit it hard but within the
range of the angel right fielder
with one out in the bottom of the
fifth inning let's pause for
station identification for KMTC
and all our stations in the west
this is the angels radio network.
Jim Strickland is the hitter.
He takes a curve ball for a
strike.
Steve Luber was up just one time
and tried to find his way on and
was thrown out by Murphy.
Curve hangs outside one and one

Cardinal sin committed by Tom
Murphy.
He has a walk for the opposing
pitcher.
the second free pass given up by
Murph and brings up second
baseman Steve Braun.
Braun proving to be a fine lead
off hitter for Bill Rigney.
In the series he has walked five
times in the three games has a
couple of hits and was safe on
an error.
So he's been on base eight times
and two and a half ballgame.
Murphy drops the ball in
position for the second baseman
Steve Braun.
He's got the ball in position on
the mound that's a block and on
its way to second goes Jim
Strickland Murphy as he was
reading John Stevenson the ball
just dropped out of his glove
and that gives Strickland second
base Murphy now looks back at
second to pitch.
Looked at a curve it'll cost him
a strike on the inside corner.

inning five to one angels the
pitch flung on and bounced by
the mound Alomar charging the
ball bad hop but he picks it off
and throws him out.
Good play by Alomar on the third
goes Strickland and with two
outs the hitter will be Cesar
Tovar.
It's easy to take Sandy Alomar's
play for granted.
He has just been an outstanding
player in the baseball
displacement all season is
average at 250.
He's still at 20 seconds base
today and Danny continuing to be
the angels iron man.
He's one of only a handful of
players in the American League
to play in every game of the
season outside the Tovar ball
one.
These are an infield hit and he
aligns to Ken McMullen the third
in fact Alomar has the club
record for consecutive game
against the Tovar.
He had two ninety six going into
the season and it's appeared in
all eighty eight games this year
the only angel to do so outside
of Tovar.
No Minnesota player has played in
every game Leo Cardenas has come
closer.
He is one.
Murphy to open one on line to
the right picked it off about a
foot off the ground.
So Tovar hitting in tough luck
after he got a scratch single in
the first inning.
He is sent to pull it out the
third baseman Ken McMullen.
No runs no hits no errors the

Hey Dick I know a lot of people
who found the perfect guy.
I do today.
the Dobson twelve hundred and a
lot of people are calling them
names like that guy with a fast
back model.
He calls it his beach wagon
because both he and his girl can
love their surfboards and great
lunch in that roomy fold down
rear seat compartment with a
handy lift up rear.
There's a two door sedan model
too and a woman in our
neighborhood calls it her
shopping cart.
It's just right for making a
dash to the market to snap up a
super special and a couple who
spend a weekend out in the woods
with the bird watch.
Do you know what they call
theirs.
Well with those reclining
bucket seats that make a guess
that a weekend overnighter
like you're but the best name
yet is bargain buggy with all
those extra features that no
extra cost and gas mileage up to
30 miles per gallon and a very
low purchase price.
What else could you call the two
new Dobson twelve hundred
Dotson calls them something
special and a little something
to the small car expert.
You're nearby Southern
California Dotson dealer.
Find out if a new Dotson
twelve hundred is the perfect
Dobson for you.
You can call it whatever you
like but drive it up and decide
after five innings of play at the
Mets it's a little dangerous.

And he didn't even want to look
at it.
He hit it he just turned and
started running toward the

Gloving it for the first time
Strickland has retired all five
men that he is saying Tony
Canaleo lied to center and
doubled off George Thomas's love
that was in the fourth inning
and he allowed McClellan scored
on a base to go to single with

at the Met the angels have a
five to one lead as they go
after their fourth straight win
and they're sixth in a row here
against the twins in their home
yard.
I wonder how many people
remember who the starting
pitchers were last year and they
all started.
Recent year.
One of the young men named to the
West by early today Jim Palmer
started for the American League
and Tom Seaver of the Mets.
Who do you figure will start the
national league this year.
It's got to be by the blue and
that's weaver once a male for the
rest of the year.
But that goes.
You know the fact that Dr.
Gallagher come out publicly and
made the bias claim against
Marky Anderson.
That almost.
Forces Anderson not to be
started because I can see where a
skipper would would not want to
encourage that kind of public
attack.
One and one to count the read.
But he's going to matter.
My figure the other way.
You know I might not want to
reverse.
Like certainly by record Ellis
would deserve the honor.
One one day.
Her bounces in two and one.
It's a shame that that he had to
make that statement.
Better than not say it.
And then if he doesn't start
then OK if he feels that there
is a bias statement being he
didn't figure he would be
selected because he was black.
And that Anderson didn't like
him as a ground ball.
Right.
At their first hit and back on
the second inning.
Fourth hit allowed by Tom Murphy
brings up George Sanplio
Cardenas.
I can't think of anyone.
Marky Anderson doesn't like.
And the idea that two blacks
wouldn't start an all-star game.
I.
Don't think.
That wouldn't even have been in
my mind.
Maybe it does matter.
Tom.
Murphy delivers inside corner

Tony Gonzalez whips the batter out a couple of times,
the left-hander Jim Strickland gets it ready.
Here's the 2-0 pitch to Tony G, curved him high and close ball play for you know,
Tony's spinning his way out of the batter's box.
As for the American League, they have not been victorious in all-star competition since 1962.

And from that 34th game on in 1963, it has been National League dominance, 3-2 pitch.
Inside, almost hit him in the hand.
Gonzalez falling away from the pitch and dropping the bat there in the batter's box.

It's going to be an error for the pitcher, Jim Strickland, and we're going to pause right

Seven for ten.
That's a fastball close ball on.
And five RBIs from the McConnell into the series too.
Dick you'd have to say that Ken is the logical candidate for the player of the month award.

He could be the July bond angel player of the month.

Well you heard the announcement, I don't know if you were able to pick it up in the
background but there may be an announcement concerning the great number of
watch youngsters here at Metro Falmouth Stadium and with the various group leaders responsible for these
youngsters and they have asked the group leaders to report to the police office here on the
stadium so that these youngsters can find their way home again and they're traveling all over the
place out of the lower deck and left field, wandering all over the premises and
many of them managing to get lost here at Metro Falmouth Stadium. George
Middowell leads it off the curve by Murphy as close ball was. They have a lot of school
patrol youngsters out here this afternoon.
Murphy right back with it. Right down the shoot for a strike and it's 1-1. They have a
group, a school patrol group from Lake City, from New London and from Spicer,
Minnesota.
Tom Murphy in possession of a 6-1 lead, last of the seventh and the pitch.
Wicked curve but it stays inside, ball 2-2-1. Big break to it.
Started in as though it was going to be behind the batter, the right-handed George
Middowell and then it tried to angle its way over the plate and missed. Here's a 2-1 pitch.
On non-fly ball left field. Back for it goes Tony Gonzales. Back toward the edge of the
track. Tony has room and he makes the catch.
Dan Williams going in the Minnesota bullpen. Here's George Thomas.
Without Tony Alaba, without Harmon Killebue, this is an entirely different
team. They say that they have two young men in the Minnesota 5 system right now
who are the Killebue's of the future. Well that of course remains to be seen.
They have high hopes for them and they say that they should have most Thomas in
career. First delivery and first strike and it's on one of the comments. George
over 2. Outside with it 1-1.
Well without them in the lineup it's a far easier pitching pass. Curve, line drive
basic by George. Left field by George. He's so deadly and sharply.
And that is the sixth Minnesota hit. That'll bring up the pitcher.
Jim Cotts will be used in a pinch hitting role by manager Bill Riggins.
the pitcher Jim Cotts left-handed batter will face the right-handed Tom Murphy.
Jim Hughes for this purpose on a number of occasions.
And the pitch. Tried to bunt on it and missed. Strike one.
And Cotts here trying to bunt for a base hit. Just trying to catch McMullen deep at
third.
Bill Riggins with that limited mass.
That's all close. 1-1.
And of course without the services today another left-handed hitter, Rob Carew.
Along with Tony Alita.
1-1 the count on Cotts. Angel's lead, 6-1. Last out of the seventh inning.
Trying to sweep the best of it.
Chuck Flanagan. Good call to judge.
And the Angel both had Mel Queen and Dave Laroche are throwing.
As Chuck Flan double shot here by Jim Cotts.
Result in the seventh Minnesota hit. Runners of first and second went out.
the batter will be Steve Braun.
the Angels counting up for the double play on the sixth inning.
They might be able to duplicate that right here.
Left-handed Steve Braun.
And the fetch to him and Braun takes the off-speed turn for a strike and a throw and one.
Murphy giving more runs. Almost as many runs as he has seen all season long.
In winning four and losing eleven.
One strike fetch, off-speed turn, strike two call.
Murphy has two of them in there.
Run to the base there and runs toward the first inning.
the only Minnesota run so far.
Walks in the third.
Runs it out of the fifth inning.
Runs it out to Sandy Elomar.
That's the spot where Murphy, unless he could get him on strikes, would like to have him right now.
the fetch. Fastball low and close.
1-2.
All runs, strike two.
the upfields filled it way around to the right here for Braun.
Straight away stands for the left-hander and the 1-2 fetch. Inside with another fastball.
Strike two on Braun.
Murphy plays for the fetch.
There it is.
Murphy with breaking stuff had registered two strikes on Braun and then teased him with fastballs.
Two inside and then one that he got up and out over the plate and Steve Braun hammered it to right field for a line drive base hit.
Here's Steve R. Kovar.
It is now 62. Last out of the seventh inning. One out.
Kovar.
He's got to look out for the percentage here. Kovar with an infield hit in the first inning and tight in the third and again in the fifth.
He has shot line drives to Kamen Mullen for us.
So he has read Murphy extremely well.
Runners at first and second. One out.
Angels late. Six-two.
Minnesota now with eight hits. Murphy ready on the fetch.
Kovar backs off. Takes ball one.
So Tom Murphy.
Wheeling and dealing here in kind of a shaky way. the one up that's down the middle.
Not again.
In support of Tom Murphy. Kovar who has crunched it well in the third and the fifth and now the seventh. But nothing to show for those plate appearances.
That will be offered to Tom Murphy and the affairs of Dave LaRoche.
So Tom Murphy comes out. They hit time hard here in the seventh inning. And line drive out off the bat of Kovar.
A big out of the seventh inning. Minnesota now has two. They still have runners at first and second and it's a six-two-two ball game with Murphy out in front by four as he leaves the game.
So now Dave LaRoche being summoned from the ball pen to China and preserve it.
So for you fans of the Riverside, San Bernardino, Pomona and San Fernando Valley areas, you may take advantage of a special angel ticket offer to the game Sunday, July 18th against Cleveland.

A bit earlier we were talking about tips and the cards that you'd like to see employed and I had to agree with you.
On our travels we deal with people in hotel business, restaurants, cab drivers, people who perform so many services.
I hope that Sam Searle is in with me because I think it would be kind of a treat to have a job where tips were allowed.
I think I'd make a fortune.
A smile is the cheapest commodity of all and how infrequently it is employed by people in that form of a funnel.
the thing that bothers me most of all is when someone is serving you and you get the feeling and attitude before, oh, you even given your order.
If they're already counting on you to pay them money for service, it already is bad.
And I think just in terms of the better interest of a restaurant that even the owner might be willing to print up cards like that.
Noise, noise and more noise means Simon Killibrew has come out of the dugout, sword, bow and all.
I had a unique experience as a young man. I worked at a resort. It was past our hot springs up in central California.
And I was kind of a cook and bottle washer and performed all these various services.
And I can remember how from a tip standpoint, the people who came and all you had to do was render kindness and I tell you the magic of a smile is something.
Well, Simon Killibrew has started to pry this place apart already with just a beautiful reaction in the background.
As the answers is probably many of them who are out here at the beginning of this series the other night when it was Simon Killibrew night and it was Mug Night when they gave away the thermal mud.
the Simon Killibrews home run accomplishments instead of in the mud and I did not appear. He did not appear out here last night in action.
But now given a shot at it here by manager Bill Rigney, bad show and all. So Killibrew will face Dave Laroche down the pit.
He's faced by Spencer coming over and Jim can't quite get to it.
Spencer limping a bit as he goes back to his spot at first base. He might have spiked himself or kicked himself in the foot as he went over to the railing for that high foul pop.
And any of that Killibrew still has life at home plate one strike on him two down and run as a first and second angel played six to that's all the way and the count is one to one.
Dave Laroche winner of four loser of one he has saved seven. Earned run average one point nine seconds and he has a mean man to deal with here and Simon Killibrew one one delivery now.
Killibrew fouls it back one and two.
Simon in the pregame show with that last night has indicated that he was ready to go. He was ready to be on the starting line of Bill Rigney deciding against it. However, he wanted to get as much rest as possible so that there wouldn't be any continued aggravation.
But Killibrew implied in a pinch hitting role here on the seventh inning the pitch inside with a curve.
All to strike two on the hammer. the after you'll needless to say extremely deep right away and the two two pitch on the way and kill the bird.
Who wants it. Tony Gonzalez is there and Tony puts it away to retire the.
Well, I got under it. It was one of those typical Ruthian or kill a bird type. It extremely high but with nothing in the way of this.
No error as a parallel and the start out the end of seven angels six minutes on a two small car expert you're on the air. I've been waiting for an hour to talk to you and I'm calling small car expert.
Go ahead but don't be nasty. I've been listening to your show for weeks now and you say there's a perfect Datsun for everybody. Yeah, what's your point, sir? I've got other calls. What about perfect economy?
the Datsun 1200 two door sedan. It's a little something. What about perfect styling? You can't beat the something special the Datsun two door coupe. You can beat it but you'd probably get up the hood. You get it? Small car expert.
I was listening to that last guy you know about a whole line of perfect Datsun. What about perfect convenience? the Datsun five door station wagon. It's a kick to drive. Perfect performance.
I'd have to say the Datsun 240Z. How about selling GT around? How about perfect comfort? the Datsun five tens. the two and four door sedans. Sounds like a perfect line all right. Wait, you didn't ask about the Datsun pickup truck. I don't care about the Datsun pickup truck.
To help you pick your favorite Datsun, see the small car expert, your nearby Southern California Datsun dealer. Drive a Datsun, then decide.
From Metropolitan Stadium in the Flint City, this is John Wells with Dick Henberg and Dick Nelson. And we have a change now with Stan Williams coming out of the bullpen for Minnesota. And Harmon Kilibrew will be at first base now taking over for Rich Reese.
And the story reads this way. Angel six runs, seven hits one air. And Minnesota two runs, eight hits and two errors.
That'll be a thinning play coming up. Stan Williams works his warm up tosses. And we have to now find a kill.
There we go. He's setting a pipe. He's been busy. He's been writing that a lot. Making a lot of notes over here for a while. Here's Dick. What have you come up with over there?
Well one thing that is somewhat interesting that the Minnesota Twins, when they lost last night, their record is 39 and 44 going into this game. That is the lowest they have been in terms of one loss per penny since their very first year when they moved from Washington here to Minnesota.
And the days are dark here in the Flint City especially with the injuries to the key personnel.
We had a letter from our friend, from Dean Borden, the manager of the Twins Killing Department. I think he's paid off for it too.
And he just with a reminder about your date with destiny coming up Thursday evening, July 15th at Anaheim Stadium.
Date with destiny?
When you will get your pole picker and your field bosses will report and you'll get your root rot preventative and your tenchometer and your snake bite kit and all the paraphernalia you will need to become a successful avocado rancher.
And you're also going to be presented with your own genuine avocado grove so you can qualify for Colavo membership. Fifty trees is minimum. That's going to be on Thursday evening, July 15th.
First pitch by Williams to Kanigli Ero is a drive to center and Holt's lip ball gets up and makes the catch.
Ball is hit right at him and that was fortunate because Holt lost his footing on that turf which must be still just a bit soggy and Kanigli Ero has retired.
He's really going to go through with that.
And just one final note, you can bet your guacamole that a lot of fans are going to be out to see you accept all these things on Thursday evening, July 15th.
There's a Colavo group coming out to Anaheim Stadium.
There's several hundred of the Colavo growers going to be there. That's the game with the Baltimore Orioles right after the All-Star break.
O'Brien may hitter swings and bounces it up the middle to his right as Ronny skitters makes the top throw to Killebrew in time.
Good play.
Oh, that guacamole is great. I've been an avocado and an artist book fan all my life.
My favorite foods and you can't get good avocados here in Minneapolis, at least at the Raddison Hotel.
So pass that information along to our group out there on the West Coast.
I don't know what they do with those things. Where do they hide the good ones?
I guess they keep them right there for us.
Dave LaRose hitting for the first time against Dan Williams, knowing on two out days in a high with a fastball as Williams.

Call Continental for information.
A strike on the outside corner, one and one to the left handed hitting Dave LaRose.
Williams making his thirty third game appearance of the year. He's been the busiest of Bill Regney's relief pitchers.
Swung on a looper behind short, in comes Alier. In shallow left field he's got it.
So Williams works an easy one, two, three, eighth inning. And we go to the bottom of the eighth, Angel Six, Minnesota Two.

In the bottom of the eighth inning, Leo Cardenas, Jim Holt, and Brandt Elliott are facefully pictured Dave LaRoche.
LaRoche trying to save Tom Murphy's fifth win of the year. Dave has seven saves and leads the club.
In that department, one more than Lloyd Allen. LaRoche himself is four and one with an ERA of 1.96.
Dave has just allowed nine earned runs all year.
Cardenas, an RBI and a sacrifice fly, is grounded out and fly deep to center.
the pitch by the left hander is inside, ball one.
It's that...quite a downy brook in Detroit last night in that extra inning game. the Tigers tying the Yankees 3-3 in an extra inning.
So the bases loaded. Billy Martin felt that Norm Cash was hit with a pitch that should have won the game in the tenth.
But umpire Art France said no, the ball did not hit Cash. A strike to Cardenas one and one.
And Billy Martin quoted in the Minneapolis afternoon papers, they send ball players down to the minors.
Why can't they send umpires? That was incompetence out there. That's what it was.
That will cost Billy Martin a few shekels.
the one-one pitch swung on and fouled off the mask of Cantor John Stevenson.
Martin claims that the ball hit Cash on the little finger.
He said you could hear the noise in the dugout, but France, the umpire, couldn't hear it.
He wouldn't even look at his hand to see it quiver. Norm Cash said his hand was quivering.
As only Norm Cash can make his hand quiver.
the pitch swung on a fly to deep left field. That goes to Gonzalez and Cardenas will touch them all.
Number eleven for Leo Cardenas. That makes it six to three, angels. Ball hit well back into the left field, lower deck.
Cardenas with a couple of RBI's now has 45 for the year.
Measured at 393 feet.
They hitter is Jim Holt.
Two unearned runs. the angels first run was unearned off starter Steve Luber.
And they got an unearned run when Jim Strickland dropped a throw in the seventh inning.
And those two runs proving very important.
An announcement now being made by the public address announcer.
All the youngsters out in left field are littering the outfield with paper and refuse.
the PA asking that the youngsters not do that.
Many of them are standing right in the first row and leaning out over that overhang.
Here's Jim Holt. Boyd Allen begins to throw in the angel bullpen. Holt looks at a fastball for a strike.
Laroche came in to get harm and Killebrew. That proved to be a very big out.
Had Killebrew gotten on, there's Cardenas with a home run.
the angels would have been looking at a new ball game.
It's six to three California.
Hung on and missed as Holt chased a bad ball.
Randallier is on deck. No and out, bottom of the eighth.
the twins with a run in the bottom of the seventh.
And now the leadoff home run by Cardenas in the eighth inning.
Holt swings and lobs one at O'Brien. On the outfield grass makes the catch.
It's a little soft pop fly that O'Brien he started in for and then had to go back about ten feet on the grass to make the catch.
Holt has won for four today. Here's Randallier.
He's been out on three ground balls. One of them a double play.
So Billy Martin most unhappy.
He feels that his Tigers could have won it four to three in the tenth inning.
the Yankees got two in the eleventh inning to win that ball game five to three.
And Martin with an open blast against umpire Art France.
the pitch low in the dirt.
With a big loss the Tigers now seven games behind Baltimore.
the one all pitch. Alier swings and can't find the fastball.
Going into play tonight the Orioles have a three game lead over the Red Sox and are seven in front of Detroit with the Yankees 14 back.
They look like Low Rogers. I have never met an umpire I didn't like.
But I agree with Martin's statement.
One one pitch is hung on a high fly ball to center.
Fairly deep and Rivers is playing out there. Now he has to come in for it and makes the catch.
You agree that umpires should be sent back to the minor list.
I feel like you have a lot on the job.
Quite often leads to some sort of complacency and the fact that you suddenly find yourself out of position.
On various occasions.
the hitters George Winterwald threw out no one on the pitch.
Swung on and grounded foul. Back to third base coach Frank Crisetti.

the third Minnesota pitcher used by Bill Rigne San Williams warming up in the ninth inning you'll face the top of the order Alomar Rivers and Gonzalez young Steve Lover started over will be 22 tomorrow.
With three and two thirds innings allowed five runs for and six hits walk one truck out to the relief pitching has been excellent.
the left hander work three in a third innings allowed only one run on one hit walk three and struck out one and Williams retired the angels in order in the eighth inning.
Murphy and Laroche the pitching combination for the angels.
the California show for a sweep of the three game series Alomar a big base hit a base is loaded single in the fourth inning that was the hit that not Lover out of the game.
Adding left handed against the right hander San Williams rocks in emotion the big guy delivers a strike on the outside corner.
Thomas in on the grass at third garden has swung over into the hole at short brought up two steps at second in position and kill a brood deep at first the outfield toward left.

Listening to the angels and the twins.
the game is taking place in Minnesota and let's return.
the Miami Greyhound Mickey Rivers he's over for it hit the ball hard a couple of times.
Alomar first and he's checked back by Stan Williams Alomar stole his twenty second base of the year back in the third and scored on Gonzalez home run outside and low the fastball rivers had shortened up as if the bus.

Alomar edges from first Williams at the belt goes to first with a throw throws it away gets away from killer bro Alomar breaking for a second he might try for third take the turn.
He's on his way.
Alomar and Alomar digs up the ball on the warning track and Alomar goes into third and turns and hold killer bro so bothered by that.
Sore right toe and after the ball got away from Harmon he did not try to run after it.
Braun angling from second base went to the box feet railing to pick it up and Alomar on the two base throwing air charge to Stan Williams is that third with no enough.
He's going to charge to a Minnesota pitcher today.
the ceiling threat presented by Sandy Alomar said it by Sandy Alomar as good as the stolen base itself because Alomar able to get not only second but third as Williams trying to keep him close with River the left handed hitter up and Gonzalez and
the left handed hitters next in line. Bill Rigney is on his way to the mound and he might call upon his own left hander Tom Hall.
Rigney has arrived at the mound talking with Williams and looking beyond the shoulder Williams at the bullpen where Hall appears to be ready.
Rig acting as though he wants to make the pitching change. He continues to chant with Mitterwald and Williams played umpire McCoy comes out to talk with Bill and now Rigney points out to the bullpen says yes sir that's what I want my left hander Tom Hall.
So the walk and the legs of Sandy Alomar forcing the throwing air positioning the angels lead off man at third base and with all those left handers do to hit Rigney will play the percentages and bring in Tom Hall who has always been an outstanding pitcher against the angels.
Al's record this year three wins and four losses he has saved six ballgames and continuing to strike out more than a man a man for anything he has eighty three strikeouts in seventy nine in a three point one by the way the twins and they were sick.

A perfect drag punch single by Steve Braun.
Spencer did not want to gamble an awkward throw.
He was charging towards the mound in order to get the ball to Laroche.

He did not take that gamble and Braun is safe with his third hit.
Thomas at second.
the twins need one more base runner to bring the tying run to the plate here on the bottom of the ninth inning.

the angels turned it over as well as they possibly could.
Alomar and the two hoppers fired perfectly to O'Brien and O'Brien as he skips across the bag with a strong throw back to first.
But just a bit party. Two outs.
Covar safe on the field is choice. Braun is the race for sixth and on to third goes George Thomas.
the twins with two outs bottom of the ninth. Armand Killibrew the hitter. the pitch swung on a base hit to center field.
Ken Berry who replaced Nicky Rivers after a pinch hitting for him. Fields and fires into the infield.

Thomas scoring making it seven to four angels.
Covar stopped his second Killibrew at first and here's Leal Cardenas.
He's not in a couple of runs with a sacrifice fly and his 11th home run.
With two on and two outs the twins bring the tying run to the play.
Tony Gonzalez has called time and is walking in from left field holding what appears to be a golf ball that someone has thrown at him from the left field bleachers.
the youngsters occupying the bleacher sections in left field and deep in left have been throwing refs all day.
It's a garbage pile out beyond the left fielder and now not only are they throwing paper but hard objects aimed at Gonzalez and to say the least that more than distraction could be injurious.
Gonzalez again returning to left field. That is quite unlike the fans here at the Mets.
They're as well behaved here as any place in the league and it includes Anaheim Stadium where we have to have the most polite fans in all of the American League.
Ninth inning drama at the Mets. Seven to four angels two on two outs.
Allen when he saved the win on Tuesday night.
