Monday 4/18/1970: Shamsky and Merritt win Player of the Week award
Chicago (A)'s centerfielder Art Shamsky had some reason to celebrate, as the league named him the American League Player of the Week. He hit .500 with 6 RBI and slugged .808 in 26 at bats. He got at least one hit each game this week and is on a 9 game hitting streak right now. The National League Player of the Week award goes to Jim Merritt, one of Houston's best starting pitchers. He was in a zone all week, compiling an ERA of 1.06 while going 2-0. He hurled a shutout as well.
Wednesday 4/13/1970: Vicente Romo fires NO-NO against Houston
HOUSTON - With his best stuff going, San Diego's Vicente Romo overmatched the opposing hitters all day long. Houston had no chance, getting NO hits against the right-hander. Romo (2-0) struck out 3 and issued 3 BB, throwing 66 of 117 pitches for strikes. 'I was able to keep´em off balance. That certainly helped. What a day!' San Diego's rightfielder Ron Stone went 2 for 4, homering once, with 3 RBI. That was enough to support the brilliant performance of Romo. The final score of the game was 3-0.
Monday 4/11/1970: Minnesota's Haller wins Player of the Week award
The Player of the Week award in the American League goes to Minnesota's Tom Haller this time, as the catcher displayed the best offensive perfomance in his league. Haller helped his team with an average of .455 and 13 RBI in 22 at bats. Tom managed to drive in at least one run in every game he played this week. He now has homered in 3 consecutive games as well! Doc Edwards wins his 1st Player of the Week award. National League pitchers couldn't figure out how to retire this guy all week long. Doc went 11 for 24 (.458), while hitting 1 HR and collecting 9 RBI.
Sunday 4/3/1970: Garland Shifflett fires 2-hitter against Chicago (A)
CHICAGO (A) - Chicago (A)'s offense is struggling, and Detroit's Garland Shifflett didn't help them. The right-hander fired his 1st shutout of the season, a 2-hitter. The bid for a no-hitter was broken up when Katsuo Osugi singled with no outs in the 5th inning. Shifflett (1-0) fanned 5 and walked none, throwing 95 pitches. 'I really like to play baseball, and I love the way I was able to play it today.' Jim Woods provided Detroit with the offense Shifflett needed as he collected 2 hits in 4 trips to the plate, hitting a homerun, stroking a double, with 3 RBI. The final score of the game was 7-0.
