Sunday 8/7/1971: Don Rowe fires 1-hitter against Kansas City
CLEVELAND - Great days are rare. But not for Cleveland's left-hander Don Rowe. Kansas City found out the hard way that he is among the leagues top pitchers, getting just one hit. It's his 6th shutout this season, and the 44th time he has done it in his career. 'I hit the corners with all of my pitches. That helped a lot!' Rowe (14-8) struck out 8 and walked 1, throwing 73 of 123 pitches for strikes. Dick Brown provided Cleveland with the offense Rowe needed as he stroked 2 hits in 4 AB, hitting a double. Cleveland improved its record to 63-47, scoring 1 run on 4 hits.
