| With 7-2 Win, Chiefs Go to 23-19 | Though he had a great game, Willie Stephens could not single-handedly produce a win for Boston. Chicago won the game, 7-2. Stephens was 4 for 5 with 4 singles. He drove in 2 runs. Troy Myers, who finished 3rd in the FA in wins with 18 in 1972, was the winning pitcher. Over 5.1 innings, he allowed 2 runs on 6 hits, with 2 walks and 3 strikeouts. The losing streak for Boston has now reached 8 games.
Chicago first baseman Don Barker contributed a timely at-bat in the top of the fifth. With two down, he hit a slider to center field for a 2-run single. It was his 26th hit of the season and put the Chiefs ahead, 4-2.
"I really like what we did out there today," Barker said after the game. | |
