Page 2 ALAMOGORDO (NM) DAILY NEWS Tuesday, May 18, 1971 Twins Get Three Smooth Shaves Angels Left With Nothing But The Nubs, Lose 3-2 By DICK COUCH Associated Press Sports Writer Minnesota got three smooth shaves from one Blade and the California Angels were left with nothing but the nubs. Tom Hall came out of the bullpen in the ninth inning Monday night and struck out three successive ch-hitters, stranding the run on third base and saving a 3-2 Minnesota victory over the Angels. The 155-pound fireballer, working in relief of Bert Blyleven after singles by Ken McMullen and John Stephenson put the Twins in a deep hole with nobody out, fanned Billy Cowan, Ken Berry and Jim Fregosi to end the game. Elsewhere in the American league, Boston nipped Detroit 3-2, the New York Yankees downed Baltimore 6-3 and Cleveland beat Washington 6-3. In the National League, Houston blanked San Diego 2-0, Philadelphia edged Cincinnati 3-2, Pittsburgh overcame Montreal 6-5 and Atlanta shaded the New York Mets 4-3 in innings.

At Anaheim, the Twins overcame a 2-0 California lead on George two-run homer and Jim run scoring single in the fifth inning. Blyleven, nicked for two unearned runs in the second, went on to strike out 12 and stymied the Angels on five hits until the ninth, when McMullen stroked a leadoff single and raced to third on single. Hall, who struck out 184 batters in 155 innings last season, then came on to snuff out the rally. Rod Carew got the Twins started in the fifth with a bunt first hit off hander Rudy Mitter- wald blasted his first homer of the year to tie it 2-2. Jim Holt followed with a double and nettles, recalled from the minors over the weekend, stroked the decisive single.

Alex Johnson, benched for two games by Manager Lefty Phillips because of his lacklustre play, returned to the lineup and poked one hit in four trips to the plate. The Red Sox widened their East Division lead over second- place Baltimore to Vk games, coming from behind on George two run double in the fifth and then staving off the Tigers with the help of a sensational catch by left fielder Carl Yastrzemski. With one on and two out in the seventh, Yastrzemski raced to the wall in left center and made a leaping stab of Willie long drive against the scoreboard, robbing the Detroit slugger of a potential game-tying extra hit. Horton slammed a two-run homer off Ray Culp, 4-2, in the fourth to give the Tigers a 2-1 edge, but two-out double in the fifth scored Luis Aparlcio and Reggie Smith, sending former Cy Young Award winner I Van Chance down to his sixth loss in as many decisions. Hoy White poled his seventh homer of the two-run shot on a 3-0 pitch in the first inning and Gene Michael slapped two run-producing singles to lead the Yankees past the Orioles.

Catcher Elrod Hendricks hit a two-run homer for the Orl- his fourth against one setback, with eighth-inning relief help from Jack Aker. Home runs by John Lwens- tein and Hawk Harrelson staked the Indians to an early 4-0 lead and they held off Washington in a game marked by a jarring collision between left fielder Lowenstein, center fielder Vada Pinson and shortstop Jack Heideman that forced all i three to the sidelines. They ran together chasing Tom looping fly ball to left center in the fourth inning and it went for an inside- the-park homer. Lowenstein and Heidemann, who suffered leg injuries, were carried from the field on stretchers and rushed to a hospital, where X-rays were negative.
