Thursday 9/1/1980: Ruthven and Sutton receive Pitcher of the Month award
It's the 1st time that the American League Pitcher of the Month award goes to California's pitcher Dick Ruthven. He started 7 games in August, going 6-1 and compiling an ERA of 1.25 in 50.1 innings.

Dick has pitched one shutout and 2 complete games. Don Sutton couldn't have pitched much better than he did in August, and the National League thought so as well, naming the right-hander Pitcher of the Month. His ERA of just 0.56 helped him to a 6-0 record in August. He worked 48.1 innings, striking out 32 hitters while walking 8. Don pitched a shutout as well. His ERA of 1.97 helped him to a 15-5 record this year. He struck out 158 and walked 41 in 205.1 innings. Don has pitched 4 shutouts and 6 complete games.

Wednesday 8/31/1980: Cleveland's Lea out for full season
CLEVELAND - Cleveland's right-hander Charlie Lea experienced probably the worst case scenario for a pitcher, a season ending injury. After pitching in the 6th inning of the game against Oakland, Lea complained about serious pain in his throwing arm. He had to leave the game. Doctors examined him after the game and diagnosed a Torn Rotator Cuff Muscle which will require surgery. Opposing players hit .172 against Charlie this season.

A single in the 7th off Frank Riccelli accounted for his 3rd hit. In the 9th inning he unloaded a GRAND SLAM off Frank Riccelli. That drive completed the cycle, causing a smile on his face! Jimmy did drive in 6 while scoring 5 runs on his own. This season has been a good one for him so far, as he has 107 hits in 343 at bats, resulting in a .312 batting average. He becomes the 52nd player in league history collect at least a single, double, triple and a homerun in a single game. Mike Schmidt was the last player to hit for the cycle, doing it 4/8/1980.

San Diego's first baseman George C. Scott had some reason to celebrate as well, as the league named him the National League Player of the Week.

Saturday 8/27/1980: Don Gullett (SFG) will miss 5 weeks

The message shocked teammates and team officials. Don has a record of 14-5 this season, with an ERA of 3.12. In 210.1 Innings he was able to strike out 81 batters.
