...they can hit, they can run, and their pitching is no worse than the Dodgers' hitting. They can pound out the homers, or they can scratch for the single run. Sure, the Dodgers' pitching is great, but they can't pitch shutouts every day, and worse pitchers than Camilo Pascual have shut out the Dodgers this year. Maybe they go 23 innings in a scoreless tie; the Twins are the best to win in the 24th. You know...
...couldn't believe my eyes. Minnesota manager Sam Mele apparently switched around his entire pitching rotation. After Mudcat Grant (21-7) starts the first game, he'll go all the way with lefthanders. That means Jim Kaat (18-11) pitches the second game and, instead of Camilo Pascual, Jim Merritt (5-4 since coming up from Deaver in July) may go in the third...
...Peanuts Pitcher-Manager Charlie Brown after a hard day on the mound. Outfielder Bob Allison was playing with a hairline fracture of the right wrist. Outfielder Tony Oliva was nursing a chipped knuckle in his right hand. Catcher Earl Battey had a strained back. Worse still, Ace Pitcher Camilo Pascual had to go to the hospital for surgery on torn muscles in his right arm pit. And then, last week -good grief! First Baseman Harmon Killebrew, Mele's star player-he is tied for the league lead in home runs (22) and third in runs batted in (70)-collided...
...mound. Under the coaching of Curve Baller John Sain, formerly with the Boston Braves, the Twins' pitchers have performed remarkably well: Jim Perry, with a new breaking curve in his repertoire, has six wins, no losses; Jim "Mudcat" Grant has won nine games and lost three; Camilo Pascual's record is 8-2. There is some notable talent in Mele's bullpen, too. "Last year we'd go into the late innings with a lead and we couldn't hold onto it," he says. "Now I can call on a reliever and feel confident...
...homers), Bob Allison (.287, 32 homers), Jimmie Hall (.283, 24 homers), and Earl Battey (.272, 12 homers). But the Twins had all these sluggers last year, and still finished in sixth place, a living testimony to the maxim that pitching is 75 per cent of baseball. Only Camilo Pascual (15-12) and Jim Kaat (17-11) had decent seasons, and unless Minnesota comes up with another reliable pitcher, they won't be able to finish higher than fifth...
