Week of April 27 - May 3, 1964
4/27/64 - Off Day
Other MLB News AL: Willie Horton named Player of the Week (.455-3-7, 3 r) NL: Wes Covington named Player of the Week (.524-3-7, 5 r) Washington: Chuck Hinton suffers fractured ulna (arm), out 8-9 weeks ----------------------------------- 4/28/64 - Game #13: Baltimore (Barber) @ Boston (Monbouquette) Line Score Baltimore 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 - 1 8 1 Boston 0 0 0 0 1 2 0 0 x - 3 6 0 WP - Monbouquette (2-0) LP - Barber (2-2) SV - Heffner (1) HR - none Baltimore pitcher Steve Barber walked Dick Stuart with the bases loaded to break a 1-1 tie as Boston went on to defeat the Orioles, 3-1. Bill Monbouquette went 7.0 innings, allowing 8 hits and struck out 6, and was named player of the game. Tony C went 0-3 with a RBI on a fielder's choice plus had an assist as he threw out Siebern at the plate. Manager's Notes: Good outing by Monbo to snap the losing skid for us. Gordon Jones is starting to get unhappy. We need to give him more work. Al Morin is angry for not being used. I really have no use for him with Bressoud playing and hitting well plus Bob Aspromonte has been great so far after being called up. I'm hoping that the GM moves Morin, but it's not my call. Other MLB News San Francisco: Juan Marichal tosses 6-hit shutout over Cubs -------------------------------------- 4/29/64 - Game #14: Baltimore (Pappas) @ Boston (Lamabe) Line Score Baltimore 4 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 - 5 14 0 Boston 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 2 0 - 3 12 0 WP - Pappas (1-1) LP - Lamabe (0-5) SV - Miller (3) HR - Baltimore: Orsino (2). Boston: Geiger (2). John Orsino homered of Lamabe to open up the scoring and led Baltimore to a 5-3 win over the Red Sox. Orsino went 2 for 5 with a homer and 3 RBIs to result in him being named player of the game. Tony C went 1-4, a single, but also hit into a double play. He did make a great play as he robbed Russ Snyder of a home run in the 8th inning. Manager's Notes: Another game, another home run allowed by Lamabe. He's the main reason why our starters are ranked 9th in the AL in ERA. Oh, well. A split with the O's and now a couple of days off before the Tigers come to town. for a 2-game weekend series. It will be Cuellar and Grant for us with McLain and Aguirre going for Detroit. Other MLB News Kansas City: Moe Drabowsky hurls a 5-hit shutout against the Tigers. -------------------------------------- 4/30/64 - Off Day Other MLB News Philadelphia: Dick Allen has a tender shoulder and will miss about a week. --------------------------------------- 5/1/64 - Off Day Manager's Notes: The GM came in today to tell me a couple of things. First off, he was recalling catcher Russ Nixon and sending pitcher Dave Gray to triple A. This moves a pitcher out of our crowded bullpen, although the bullpen is 4th in the AL in ERA. The second thing was that he received a call from the league president's office saying that Tony Conigliaro was named the league's top rookie for the month of April. Other MLB News AL: Named Minnesota's Tony Oliva top hitter for April. Named Los Angeles Angels' pitcher Don Lee top pitcher for April. NL: Named San Francisco's Orlando Cepeda top hitter for April. Named Philadelphia's Jim Bunning top pitcher for April. Named Philadelphia's Danny Cater top rookie for April. Cleveland: Pedro Ramos shuts out Baltimore on 5-hits. Minnesota: Placed Harmon Killebrew on 15-day DL with concussion. Cincinnati: Placed Jim Maloney on 15-day DL with a strained elbow. LADodgers: Sandy Koufax throws 4-hit, 7 K, shutout against Giants. Pittsburgh: Donn Clendenon fractures ankle, will miss 2 months. ---------------------------------- 5/2/64 - Game #15: Detroit (McLain) @ Boston (Cuellar) Line Score Detroit 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 - 0 10 3 Boston 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 3 x - 4 7 0 McLane and Freehan. Cuellar, G.Jones (8) and Tillman. WP - Cuellar (1-0) LP - McLain (0-4) SV - G.Jones (2) Mike Cuellar and Gordon Jones combined for a 10-hit shutout of the Tigers as Boston defeated Detroit, 4-0. Felix Mantilla had a sac fly for Boston's first run then a 3-run eighth inning, thanks to an error by Detroit's Demeter, sealed the win. Cuellar was named player of the game for going 7.0 innings, allowing 9 hits and striking out 2. Tony C went 1-3, a single, with an intentional walk. Manager's Notes: Good performance from new comers Cuellar and Gordon Jones brings us one game below .500. Tony Conig seems to be struggling lately. Have to expect that from a rookie after the month that he had. Gordon Jones is still unhappy with his playing time despite coming in and getting the two innings of work and picking up his second save of the year. Other MLB News NYYankees: Traded 3b Harry Bright to Philadelphia for reliever John Boozer. -------------------------------------- 5/3/64 - Game #16: Detroit (Aguirre) @ Boston (Grant) Line Score Detroit 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 - 1 2 0 Boston 2 0 0 1 0 2 0 0 x - 5 9 2 Aguirre, Fox (7) and Burgess. Grant and Tillman. WP - Grant (1-2) LP - Aguirre (2-2) HR - Boston: Yastrzemski (1), Conigliaro (3) Carl Yastrzemski drove in four runs, including a 2-run homer in the first against Aguirre, and Jim "Mudcat" Grant went the distance as Boston defeated Detroit, 5-1. Grant was named player of the game as he allowed only 2 hits in his complete game. Tony C went 1-4, a solo home run in the 4th inning, but struck out three times. Conig finishes the week going 3-14 with 1 homer and drove in 2 runs. Manager's Notes: The starting pitching is coming around. Grant threw a great game but the wild pitch he threw in the 5th costed him the shutout. The sweep of the Tigers brings us to .500 (8-8). It's about time Yaz had a big game. He's been due and now he's hitting over .300. Other MLB News Chicago White Sox: Ray Herbert tosses shutout against Los Angeles Angels, allowing 4 hits. Pittsburgh: Jerry Lynch clobbers 3 homers against Cardinals. ------------------------------------- Code:

I remember Tony C as one of the KGO Channel 7 sports guys when I was a kid growing up in the SF bay area in the mid 70's. I figured he'd played ball at some point but I didn't know until sometime later about the terrible beaning and how fabulous he had been.
He was an OK sports guy on the news but I didn't like him as much as some of the others. He always seemed so intense and it was like he wasn't having any fun. I remember hearing about his stroke (I was a senior in high school) and then his death 8 years later. Sad story. Good luck to him in your sim. Gone but not forgotten. |

5/4/64 - Game #17: Cleveland (Ramos) @ Boston (Monbouquette)
Line Score Cleveland 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 1 - 3 8 0 Boston 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 - 1 4 0 Ramos, Duren (8), Kralick (8) and Romano, Azcue (9). Monbouquette, G.Jones (9) and Tillman. WP - Ramos (2-2) LP - Monbouquette (2-1) SV - Kralick (1) HR - Whitfield (3), Romano (4) Pedro Ramos scattered four hits and a walk through seven innings of work as the Indians defeated the Red Sox, 3-1. Ramos was named player of the game. Solo home runs by Whitfield in the 6th and Romano in the 7th provided the tying and go-ahead runs for Cleveland. Boston's sole run came in the 4th inning on a single by Dick Stuart. A fight practically broke out in the bottom of the 7th inning as Tony Conigliaro went in hard on a steal attempt and Woodie Held tagged him hard and said something to him. Tony C got into Held's face and the two of them had to be separated. Tony C went 0-2 with a walk plus was thrown out stealing. Manager's Notes: The kid's got spunk. I hope that it doesn't get him into trouble. Other MLB News AL: Named Mickey Mantle player of the week. Mantle batted .526-2-5 with 4 runs. NL: Named Roberto Clemente player of the week. Clemente batted .419-4-13 with 6 runs. ------------------------------------------------- 5/5/64 - Game #18: Cleveland (Tiant) @ Boston (Lamabe) Line score Cleveland 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 - 1 7 0 Boston 2 0 0 1 0 2 1 0 x - 6 10 0 Tiant, Bell (6), Kelley (7) and Romano.

WP - Lamabe (1-5) LP - Tiant (0-5) HR - Mantilla (2), Wagner (2), Stuart (5), Conigliaro (4) Lamabe went the distance and won his first game of the season as the Red Sox downed the Indians, 6-1. Felix Mantilla started the scoring in the first with a 2-run HR, one of three homers hit by Boston. The others were a solo HR by Stuart in the 4th and a 2-run HR by Conigliaro in the 6th to end Tiant's day. Tony C went 1-4, a 2-run HR in the 6th off Luis Tiant. That's his 4th HR of the season. Manager's Notes: Today was an early afternoon start so that we could catch a flight to Detroit. Lamabe finally pitched well and only allowed 1 HR. Hopefully, this will get him going. -------------------------------------------------- 5/6/64 - Game #19: Boston (Cuellar) @ Detroit (Lolich) Line score Boston 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 - 0 6 1 Detroit 0 4 3 1 0 0 0 0 x - 8 9 0 Cuellar, G.Jones (5) and Tillman.

Manager's Notes: Mike (Cuellar) got shelled and took one for the team by going four plus innings. Gordon Jones is getting in a lot of work but he's still unhappy. We're just not winning enough for him. --------------------------------------------------- 5/7/64 - Game #20: Boston (Grant) @ Detroit (Sparma) Line score Boston 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 - 0 4 1 Detroit 3 0 0 0 3 0 0 0 x - 6 11 0 Grant, G.Jones (5), Heffner (5) and Tillman.

Burgess, Brown and McAuliffe each drove in a run in the fifth to complete the scoring. Joe Sparma went 7 innings, allowing 3 hits and walked 5, to earn player of the game honors. Tony C went 2-4, 2 singles, plus was caught stealing. He also robbed Burgess of extra bases with a great diving catch. Manager's Notes: We got shelled again by Detroit. This was the second game in a row that my starter couldn't last five innings. Now we head to our nation's capital to take on the ninth place Senators. Hopefully Monbo can stop the bleeding. ----------------------------------------------------- 5/8/64 - Game #21: Boston (Monbouquette) @ Washington (Osteen) Line score Boston 0 0 0 0 0 1 2 0 0 - 3 7 0 Washington 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 - 1 7 1 Monbouquette, Wood (8) and Tillman.

Tony C went 1-4, a single, plus got an assist as he threw out Valentine trying to go from 1st to 3rd. Manager's Notes: Monbo pitched well and won the game to break the losing streak. Now if only the rest of the starters could get going before we fall too far behind. --------------------------------------------------- 5/9/64 - Game #22: Boston (Wilson) @ Washington (Herbel) Line score Boston 1 0 0 1 0 1 3 0 0 - 6 9 1 Washington 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 2 - 4 11 2 Wilson and Nixon.

Boston opened the scoring in the top half of the 1st on an RBI single by Yastrzemski then Washington took the lead on an RBI double by Bryan in the first and a solo HR by Cottier in the 2nd. Boston tied the game on an RBI double by Wilson in the 4th then took the lead on a sac fly by Conigliaro in the 5th. Washington tried to come back in the bottom of the 9th as Cottier drove in a run with a double and Green hit a sac fly before Wilson shut the door. Tony C went 0-1, with a sac fly, and was also hit by a pitch for the 4th time this season. Manager's Notes: I wanted to give (Jack) Lamabe an extra day of rest, so I gave today's start to Wilson. Good to see Wilson hold on at the end. I was getting worried for a minute. Other MLB News Houston: Ed Bailey was injured while being hit by a pitch and will miss 3 weeks. NYMets: Ed Kranepool went 5-for-5, including a 3-run HR, against St.Louis. Cincinnati: Bill Henry suffered a strained elbow ligament and is day-to-day. ---------------------------------------------------- 5/10/64 - Game #23: Boston (Lamabe) @ Washington (Cardwell) - first of 2 Line score Boston 2 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 - 4 11 2 Washington 0 2 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 - 3 5 3 Lamabe, Wood (8) and Tillman. Cardwell, Roebuck (8) and Bryan. WP - Lamabe (2-5) LP - Cardwell (1-5) SV - Wood (2) HR - none Boston broke a 2-2 tie in the 5th inning on a ground out by Geiger and he adds an insurance run in the 9th with a single as the Red Sox held on to win, 4-3, to sweep the Senators. The Red Sox opened the scoring in the 1st on singles by Mantilla and Conigliaro then Washington tied the game in the bottom of the inning on a double by Reynolds and a single by Cardwell. The Senators scored a run in the bottom of the 9th thanks to an error by Mantilla. Tony C went 1-4, an RBI-single and robbed King of extra bases in the 6th. Game #24: Boston (Grant) @ Washington (Tsitouris) - 2nd of 2 Line score Boston 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 - 1 3 2 Washington 0 2 0 3 0 0 0 0 x - 5 7 0 Grant, Ritchie (8) and Coker. Tsitouris and Bryan. WP - Tsitouris (2-3) LP - Grant (1-4) HR - none Reynolds scores on a ground out and Walls doubles in Kennedy to give Washington a 2-0 lead in the second as the Senators take the second game of the double header, 5-1. Tsitouris scattered 3 hits in his complete game victory, earning player of the game honors. Tony C was given the 2nd game off. Manager's Notes: Rats! This should have been Mike Cuellar's start. I hope that he's not mad. I'll just start him in the first game of the next series. Oh, well. Three of four from Washington is okay with me and it's good enough to get us to .500 as we now head to Cleveland for a series against the Indians. Tony Conigliaro finishes the week going 5-23 with 1 HR and 4 RBI. He is now hitting .299. ------------------------------------------------- Code:

Week of May 11-17, 1964
5/11/64 - Game #25: Boston (Cuellar) @ Cleveland (Ramos)
Line score Boston 0 0 0 1 0 1 0 0 0 - 2 8 0 Cleveland 1 0 0 3 0 0 0 0 x - 4 6 2 Cuellar and Tillman. Ramos, Bell (6), Kralick (8) and Azcue. WP - Ramos (4-2) LP - Cuellar (1-2) SV - Kralick (3) HR - Stuart (6) A 2-run single by Joe Azcue broke a 1-1 tie in the bottom of the 4th inning to give Cleveland the lead and the Indians defeated the Red Sox, 4-2. Cleveland started off the scoring in the bottom of the 1st on a single by Woodie Held then Boston tied the game on a single by Dalton Jones. A solo HR by Stuart in the top of the 6th rounded out the scoring. During the 4th inning, Boston's Carl Yastrzemski damaged his meniscus while trying to throw out a runner. Tony C went 2-4 with a double. Manager's Notes: Now what am I going to do!! Williams can't even hit my weight. I've got two weeks to figure it out because the GM told me that Yastrzemski was going on the 15-day DL and that he was calling up pitcher Dave Morehead. Just what I need now that I am down to four outfielders. Other MLB News AL: Named New York's Tom Tresh player of the week after hitting .367-5-12 w/8 runs. NL: Named New York's Tony Kubek player of the week after hitting .520-4-5 w/5 runs. --------------------------------------------- 5/12/64 - Game #26: Boston (Monbouquette) @ Cleveland (Tiant) Line score Boston 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 - 1 11 0 Cleveland 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 - 2 8 0 Monbouquette, Morehead (9) and Tillman. Tiant, Kralick (8), Duren (8), Abernathy (10) and Romano. WP - Abernathy (1-0) LP - Morehead (1-1) HR - Wagner (3) Chico Salmon drove in Tito Francona with a single with one out in the bottom of the 10th inning for the winning run as Cleveland defeated Boston, 2-1. The Indians scored the game's first run on a solo HR by Leon Wagner and the score held up until the 8th inning when Mantilla tied the game up with an RBI single. Tony C went 0-4 with a walk plus struck out twice, once with the bases full. Manager's Notes: Dick Williams is a piece of crap at the plate. Batting .081 is just not going to cut it. I think that I will be starting rookie Tony Horton in left and use Williams as a defensive replacement. He's much better than Horton with the glove. Other MLB News Cincinnati: Pete Rose was taken out of the game due to back spasms and is listed as DTD. --------------------------------------------- 5/13/64 - Game #27: Boston (Lamabe) @ Cleveland (McDowell) Line score Boston 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 - 1 5 1 Cleveland 2 2 0 0 0 3 0 0 x - 7 10 0 Lamabe, Heffner (8) and Tillman. McDowell, Bell (6), Kralick (8) and Romano. WP - McDowell (3-3) LP - Lamabe (2-6) HR - Francona (3), Alvis (2) Whitfield and Romano each drove in a run in the bottom of the first then Francona hit a 2-run blast as the Cleveland Indians bombed the Boston Red Sox, 7-1. Max Alvis hit a 3-run HR in the bottom of the 6th inning before Boston finally got on the board with an RBI single by Bressoud to finish the scoring. "Sudden Sam" whiffed 8 in his five plus innings of work while walking 4. Tony C went 0-4 with 2 more strikeouts, giving him 20 for the season. Manager's Notes: Thank god this road trip is over although we went 3-5. We have an off day before hosting the league leading Minnesota Twins. Mike Cuellar is not a happy camper. I told him that he and Jim (Grant) were going into the bullpen and that I would be inserting Dave Morehead and Earl Wilson in their place. I also told Cuellar that I wanted him to get an extra side session with our coaching staff because he's been walking too many hitters lately. ------------------------------------------------ 5/14/64 - Off Day Other MLB News St.Louis: Curt Simmons blanks the Phillies, 2-0, on 5 hits. ------------------------------------------------ 5/15/64 - Game #28: Minnesota (Pascual) @ Boston (Morehead) Line score Minnesota 2 0 2 1 0 0 1 2 0 - 8 11 0 Boston 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 - 2 7 1 Pascual and Roarke. Morehead, G.Jones (8) and Tillman. WP - Pascual (3-4) LP - Morehead (1-2) HR - Mincher (12), Kostro (2) POG - Mincher (2-3, HR, 3 RBI) Don Mincher and Jimmie Hall each drove in a run in the first inning as the first place Twins defeated the Red Sox, 8-2. After an RBI single by Geiger in the bottom of the 2nd, Mincher hit a 2-run HR in the top of the 3rd and Kostro hit a solo shot in the 4th to break the game open. Rollins hit a sac fly in the 7th then Versalles and Kostro each drove in a run in the 8th before Boston rounded out the scoring on an RBI single by Conigliaro in the bottom of the 8th. Tony C went 1-3 with an RBI single, a walk plus his first stolen base of his career. Manager's Notes: Man, these Twins are good. And that's with Killebrew on the bench nursing an injury. Morehead got roughed up in the early innings but seemed to settle down as the game went on. ---------------------------------------------- 5/16/64 - Game #29: Minnesota (Stange) @ Boston (Wilson) Line score Minnesota 0 0 2 0 0 0 1 0 0 - 3 7 2 Boston 4 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 x - 4 6 2 Stange and Battey. Wilson, Grant (8) and Tillman. WP - Wilson (3-0) LP - Stange (2-4) SV - Grant (1) POG - Kostro (2-3, HR) Boston got four runs in their half of the first on a sac fly by Stuart, followed by a 2-run single by Geiger and an RBI single by Horton, then held on to defeat Minnesota, 4-3 to snap a four-game losing streak. The Twins got 2 runs in the 3rd on a 2-run double by Rollins and later a solo HR by Kostro in the 7th to get back to within a run before "Mudcat" Grant came in and shut the door with a pair of shutout innings. Tony C went 0-3, with an intentional walk, as he continues his hitting woes. Manager's Notes: We won!! Except for the mistake to Rollins, Earl Wilson pitched great in his 7.0 innings of work. Our offense is struggling big time but at least our bullpen is ranked 4th in the league in ERA. The workings in left field with Horton starting then Williams coming in in the 8th innings of close games paid off dividends today. Williams made a couple of nice grabs that Horton probably would not have gotten to and helped us hold the lead. ------------------------------------------------ 5/17/64 - Game #30: Minnesota (Cheney) @ Boston (Monbouquette) Line score Minnesota 0 2 0 0 1 0 0 1 0 - 4 7 1 Boston 0 1 0 0 0 3 0 1 x - 5 7 3 Cheney, Pleis (8) and Battey. Monbouquette, Heffner (9) and Tillman. WP - Monbouquette (4-1) LP - Pleis (0-1) SV - Heffner (2) POG - Battey (2-4, HR, 2 RBI) Bob Tillman drove in the go-ahead run in the bottom of the 8th inning on a single to break a 4-4 tie as Boston made it two in a row over Minnesota, 5-4. Don Mincher tied the game with a single in the top of the 8th after Eddie Bressoud had put the Red Sox on top with a 3-run HR in the bottom of the 6th. Minnesota got their other runs on a 2-run HR by Battey in the 2nd and a sac fly by Hall in the top of the 5th. Boston got their first run of the game in the bottom of the 2nd on a solo HR by Conigliaro, his 5th of the season. Tony C went 1-3 with a HR and a walk. He batted .190 (4-21) during the week with a HR and 2 RBI plus his first stolen base. Tony Conigliaro is now batting .267. Manager's Notes: Did Conig's HR ever stop? I think that it was heading west bound on the Mass Pike. We finished an otherwise dismal week by taking two of three from the Twins. We now sit 6th, 1 game below .500. Code:

Manager's Notes: Now I'm down to three outfielders as Tony Horton got injured while making a diving catch in the 5th inning. I was giving Conigliaro some time off but I still had to use him. Maybe the GM will find someone to help out depending on Horton's injury. Sloppy play by the defense. Mantilla made 3 errors in the game. Gotta get ready for the nightcap. Game #38, 2nd of 2: Kansas City (Drabowsky) @ Boston (Wilson) Line score Kansas City 1 0 0 0 1 3 0 0 1 - 6 15 2 Boston 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 1 - 2 7 2 Drabowsky, Bridges (7) and Lau.

The Senators get another run in the 5th on a sac fly by Bryan then the Red Sox get a run in the 6th on a single by Mantilla. Tony C went 1-2, a single, and walked twice. Manager's Notes: Before the game, the GM came in and gave me some good news. Carl Yastrzemski was being activated off of the 15-day DL and the team was sending catcher Bob Tillman to triple A. After the game, the GM gave me the bad news. Felix Mantilla, who left the game in the 6th while sliding into a base, had fractured his elbow and will be lost for the remainder of the season. The GM is going to call up first baseman Bobby Guindon to take Mantilla's spot on the roster. Felix is going to go on the 60-day DL. Other MLB News Chicago White Sox - Juan Pizarro throws a no-hitter against Kansas City. 5/28/64 - Off Day Manager's Notes: We are getting ready to go on our road trip to take on Minnesota, Los Angeles and Kansas City. I'll start Bob Aspromonte at third base for the opening game against the Twins but I'm leaning towards putting Dalton Jones there. Dalton is a better fielder and is hitting better. Jimmy Coker and Russ Nixon will share the catching duties. 5/29/64 - Game #42: Boston (Wilson) @ Minnesota (Perry) Line score Boston 0 0 0 0 2 2 1 3 0 - 8 13 0 Minnesota 1 0 0 0 0 3 1 0 0 - 5 11 2 Wilson, G.Jones (9) and Nixon.

WP - Wilson (4-2) LP - Stigman (3-2) SV - G.Jones (3) HR - Killebrew (6) POG - Bob Aspromonte (2-5, rs, 3 RBI) Scoring Summary Minnesota strikes first with a run in the bottom of the 1st on a sac fly by Mincher. Boston gets 2 runs in the 5th on singles by Nixon and Bressoud then two more runs in the 6th on a fielder's choice ground out by Wilson and a single by Jones. The Twins tie the game with 3 runs in the bottom of the 6th on a 3-run HR by Killebrew. The teams each score a run in the 7th, Boston on a single by Aspromonte, and Minnesota on a single by Oliva. The Red Sox score three times in the 8th on a bases-loaded walk by Conigliaro and a 2-run single by Aspromonte. Tony C went 1-3, a single, plus two walks, the first one intentional, the second one with the bases loaded. Manager's Notes: What a crazy game. Minnesota is a great team but they've been struggling with their defense lately. Maybe if we play solid "D", the rest of the things will come around and we can get back in the race. 5/30/64 - Game #43: Boston (Monbouquette) @ Minnesota (Kaat) Line score Boston 1 0 0 1 1 1 0 0 0 - 4 11 1 Minnesota 0 0 0 0 0 2 0 0 0 - 2 10 3 Monbouquette, Heffner (8) and Nixon.

WP - Monbouquette (6-1) LP - Kaat (4-4) SV - Heffner (4) HR - Conigliaro (8), Nixon (1), Mincher (16) POG - Don Mincher (3-4, rs, 2 RBI, HR) Scoring Summary Boston strikes first with a run in the 1st on a ground out by Stuart. The Red Sox get single runs in the 4th, 5th and 6th innings on home runs by Conigliaro and Nixon, plus a single by Yastrzemski. Minnesota scores twice in the bottom of the 6th on a 2-run HR by Mincher. Tony C goes 1-5, home run, his 8th of the season, with 1 RBI Manager's Notes: Monbo handcuffed the Twins all game except for the 6th inning. Bill (Monbouquette) is 6-1 now. With the All-Star game a little over a month away, maybe the Yankees' manager will select him for the team. Conigliaro belted his third home run of this week. He's got loads of talent and potential. I've decided that maybe Russ Nixon should get a good bulk of the catching duties. He's driven in runs now in each of the two games so far against Minnesota. 5/31/64 - Game #44: Boston (Lamabe) @ Minnesota (Pascual) Line score Boston 0 0 2 1 0 2 1 0 1 - 7 14 0 Minnesota 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 - 0 2 2 Lamabe, G.Jones (8) and Nixon.

WP - Lamabe (4-6) LP - Pascual (5-6) HR - Nixon (2), D.Jones (1) POG - Jack Lamabe (7.0 ip, 1 h, 0 r, 0 er, 1 bb, 3 k) Scoring Summary Boston opens with two runs in the top of the 3rd on singles by Stuart and Geiger. The Red Sox get a run in the 4th on a HR by Nixon then two more runs in the 6th on a bases-loaded walk by Yastrzemski and a sac fly by Stuart. Boston scores a single run in the 7th on a HR by Dalton Jones then one more run in the 9th on a double by Bressoud. Tony C went 0-5. He went 7-24 (.292) for the week with 3 home runs and 4 RBIs. Manager's Notes: What a way to begin the road trip, sweeping the Twins. We end the week, and May, on a high note as we clawed back to .500 (22-22). Lamabe pitched super, only allowing one hit. It's about time that he's started coming around. He's thrown 13 out of 14 scoreless innings in his two starts this week, the last 11 in a row. Other MLB News Hank Aaron went 10-28 (.357) with 3 HRs and 6 RBIs this week. He is now batting .311 with 9 homers and 29 RBIs. Code:
