Palmer Blanks Senators 7-0

Washington, DC- Plagued by recurring shoulder trouble since 1966, when he won 15 for Baltimore and then went on to become the youngest pitcher ever to toss a shutout in the World Series, 23 year old Orioles righthander Jim Palmer may finally have put his injury problems behind him.
Against the Senators on Wednesday Palmer was absolutely magnificent, scattering 4 hits and 4 walks while striking out 6 in a complete game 7-0 shutout in front of nearly 22,000 fans here in Washington's R.F.K. Stadium. The victory is Palmer's Major League leading 11th on the season against just three defeats, his ERA is a fine 2.60.

Behind Jim Kaat, Twins Win 7th Straight
Minnesota Twins lefty Jim Katt had all of his pitches working today, holding the Angels to just 5 hits in a dominating 7-0 shutout win. The win is the 7th straight for the streaking Twins who now lead the AL West by a commanding 8 and a half games over second place Oakland. They'll be given a chance to expand that lead on Friday, when they head to Oakland for a four game set with the resurgent Athletics.

Drysdale Returns For Dodgers
Clinging to a one game lead in a very tight NL Western division, the Los Angeles Dodgers got a big boost on Wednesday when star pitcher Don Drysdale returned from a stint on the DL and promptly twirled 8 shutout innings, allowing just 1 walk and striking out 7 in a 2-0 victory over the visiting Padres. The win is the 206th of Drysdale's big league career.

Orioles Acquire Pitcher
In a minor waiver wire deal, the Baltimore orioles acquired relief pitcher Frank Bertaina from the Washington Senators for minor league pitcher Paul Campbell and cash.
