8/1/1971 -
Right before the deadline we made a deal with the Braves, sending a pair of relievers, 32 year old Jim Donohue and 40 year old Ray Semproch along with 32 year old right fielder Doug Clemens, and getting back 27 year old minor league reliever Marcelino Lopez and minor league centerfielder Tom Silverio.
Unfortunately that was the only deal that we were able to make. We suffered through a series of injuries during July, with Mike Caldwell hurting the most. We lost one of our two All-Stars for the rest of the year. Caldwell was 9-2 with a 1.90 ERA this year. Second baseman Ed Spiezio was our other All-Star, but we couldn't manage to give him away.
For the month we finished 12-17.
