Other hurlers around the majors have won more games, of course: Detroit's Denny McLain already has 19 victories to his credit, San Francisco's Juan Marichal 18, and Cleveland's Luis Tiant 16. Gibson's record is 14-5, but the last time he lost was May 28.

...512th home run of his career, thereby breaking Mel Ott's 19-year-old National League record-and with his own Cleveland teammates. At week's end, the Indians were leading the second-place Baltimore Orioles by two full games. McDowell's fellow pitcher Luis Tiant had yet to lose in three starts, and the entire Cleveland pitching staff boasted an earned-run average of 1.60 -lowest in the majors...
