Mickey Lolich Needed
Another Warmup Pitch
F.y United Press International
Mickey Lolich obviously need
ed cue more warmup pitch
Monday night.
The Detroit Tigers’ World
Series hero of 1968 made his
first start in 13 days after being
sidelined when he was hit In the
arm by a liner—and he was
tagged for a homer by Dick
Simpson on the first pitch of
the game.
That pitch cost Lolich a 1-0
victory and the Tigers wound
up suffering a 3-2 loss In 10
Innings to the Seattle Pilots
despite a 16-strikeout perfor
mance over the first nine
innings by Lolich, who also

Lolich was lifted for pinch
hitter Gates Brown with the
bases loaded and two out in the
ninth Inning with the score tied
1-1. But Brown hit into a force
and Seattle jumped on reliever
Pat Dobson for two runs In the
top of the 10th.
Detroit, which won 40 of Its
games In the final three innings
last season, got a run In the
last of the 10th and had the
bases loaded with one out—
when John Gelnar retired Willie
Horton and Tom Matchick to
end the game.
After giving up that homer to
Simpson, Lolich stopped th»
Pilots on three hits. His 16
strikeouts tied the club record
he set on May 32 and he had an
excellent chance to beat his
own mark since he collected his
16th in the seventh inning—but
didn’t get one in the final two
innings.
Manager Mayo Smith said he
was going to let Lolich pitch

come up to use a pinch-hitter
for him in the ninth. But the

Tonight
By DAVID MOFFIT
DPI SPORTS Writer
ATLANTA (UPD—East is
east and west is west —but the
twain shall meet tonight as the
Atlanta Braves and the Chicago
Cubs, leaders of their respec
tive divisions, open a three
game series here.
The Braves, who lead the
Western Division of the Nation
al League by two games, hope
to make amends for losing
three straight 1 1-2 weeks ago
in Chicago to the runaway
Eastern Division pace setters.
However, revenge won’t come
easily. The Cubs will start Ken
Holtzman (9-1). one of the
hottest pitchers in the majors
at present, tonight against the
Braves’ Ron Reed (5-4).
“This Is a must series for us
if we’re to stay on top in our
division,” Braves manager
Luman Harris said. After these
three games with the Cubs and
a weekend series at Pittsburgh,
the Braves return to intra
divlsional play for a slx-week
span.
“Injuries have played a
factor in our recent slowdown.”
said Harris. “But, check the
record, we’ve done much better
within our own division than
against the other teams.'
He’s right. The Braves are
17-8 in Western Division play
and 15-12 against Eastern
Division teams. It took a pair
of come-from-behind victories
Sunday against Pittsburgh to
give them even that much of an
edge.
The Braves picked an unfor
tunate time to host the
streaking Cubs. Felipe Alou,
Rico Carty and Tito Francona
are still injured and the
pitching staff, with the excep
tion of knucklebailer Phil
Niekro (9-4) who will work
Wednesday night, has been
suspect.
General manager Paul Rich
ards agrees that the Braves
won’t hold their divisional lead
unless the pitching rights itself.
But Harris refuses to worry.
“I’m not giving up on my
pitching,” he insisted. “Some of
their late-lnning rallies last
season but are losing more
games than they’re winning in
the last innings, couldn’t pull it
out for Lolich in the ninth and
then left the bases loaded again
in the 10th. Detroit stranded 11
runners.
“This is the kind of game we
would have won last year,” one
of the Tigers admitted.
In other American League
action, Boston edged Minnesota
5-3, Cleveland topped Chicago 5-
1 and Kansas City beat New
York 7-1.
In the sole National League
game, Cincinnati nipped Chica
go 4-1.
A walk, a sacrifice, an
intentional walk, Don Mincher’s
pinch single and Gus Gil’s
sacrifice fly gave Seattle the
two runs it needed in the 10th
to beat Detroit and give Marty
Pattin the victory.
Carl Yastrzemski’s two-run
homer in the first and Rico
Petrocelli’s solo homer leading
off the three-run fourth pow
ered Boston past Minnesota. It
was Yastrzemski’s 14th homer
and the 20th of the season for
Cubs Meet
In Atlanta
the fellows have been having a
bit of trouble lately, but I’m
convinced we can pull them out
of it and that they can win.”
The big mystery so far this
year has been righthander Pat
Jarvis. A 15-game winner in ’67
and a 16-game winner last year,
the stumpy Jarvis is presently
5-4 with an extremely disap
pointing 6.00 ERA. In his last
start, against Pittsburgh Satur
day, Jarvis was tagged for five
earned runs in three innings.
“Pat use to have trouble
breathing so he had his nose
straightened this last winter,”
Harris mused. “Maybe,” he
then quipped, “I should break it
for him again.”
Harris deserves a lot of

LOS ANGELES (UPD—If all

fractured in two places and his

and I put my feet in the
stirrups. The filly took one step
forward and then flopped over
on her back. I couldn't get my
feet out of the stirrups and she
landed on my lap.
“A thing like that doesn’t
happen very often,” he conti

If ho would have, she probably
wouldn’t have fallen over.”
