He now has 52 career shutouts in 447 games started. Seaver (2-1) struck out 6 and issued 1 BB, throwing 70 of 104 pitches for strikes. 'Giving my team a chance to win is the most important thing for me. I was able to do it today.' Gary Gray provided New York (N) with the offense Seaver needed as he finished with 2 hits in 4 AB, blasting a homerun, with 3 RBI. New York (N) improved its record to 4-7, scoring 5 runs on 10 hits.
Tuesday 4/12/1979: Cincinnati's Nolan severely injured

Tuesday 4/12/1979: Baltimore's Jeff Burroughs gets the cycle
CLEVELAND - Baltimore's leftfielder Jeff Burroughs accomplished a difficult feat in a game against Cleveland, hitting for the cycle to improve his career batting average to .274!

A pitch from Albert Williams in the 6th inning left his bat for a three-run homerun, landing 464 feet from home plate in center field. That drive completed the cycle, causing a smile on his face! Jeff did drive in 3 while scoring 2 runs on his own. This season has been a good one for him so far, as he has 15 hits in 43 at bats, resulting in a .349 batting average. 50 players in league history have so far hit for the cycle, including Jeff. On 9/10/1978, Reggie Jackson was the last player to hit for the cycle.

I changed Forbes field around before stool took over. The dimensions are pretty neutral so not many players should get fucked there. Not to mention stool already has won 2 titles with the same dimensions. |
