7/19-7/20/70 vs Baltimore (DH on 7/19)

7/19 Game 1 Orioles 12 White Sox 3
Gerry Janeski didn't make it out of the third inning. Three Orioles pitchers combined to hold us to 4 hits, and Ken Berry had half of them.

7/19 Game 2 Orioles 8 White Sox 4
Rich Hinton allowed 8 runs on 11 hits, 2 of which were homers, in 7 innings. Ossie Blanco had 3 hits in the loss.

The AL player of the week this week was our opponent's first baseman, Boog Powell, who was 11/24 with 3 HR. The NL's player of the week was LA's RF Manny Mota, who hit .556 with 2 HR

Here are the weekly power rankings. Our opponent is on top.
1. Baltimore Orioles.
2. St Louis Cardinals
3. Minnesota Twins
4. LA Dodgers
5. Boston Red Sox

7/20 Orioles 6 White Sox 3
Tommy John wasn't great, but he was also pitching on short rest because of the doubleheader on Saturday. Joseph Tally had a pair of hits, and Rich McKinney came in as a pinch-hitter for John in 7th to hit his 7th homer, which cut our deficit to 5-3. Wilbur Wood gave up the sixth run.

I think I'm going to give the starting 2B job back to McKinney. He has been the best all-around, and he is the youngest.

Elsewhere, Pittsburgh C Manny Sanguillen had a 6 for 6 game in a win over the Astros.

Record: 40-54
