1975 MLB Week 5

We are wrapping up the first half of divisional play as we go to week 5 of the MLB. One change I made is not including winning and losing pitchers anymore, just a game summery.


Montreal 6 CHI Cubs 7
At Wrigley, Montreal reliever Fred Shcerman threw a wild pitch in the 10th, scoring the winning run for the Cubs. Chicago got a two run homer from Rick Monday in the sixth, but lsot in the lead in the ninth and had to recover in extras to win.


NY Yankees 1 Baltimore 3
At Memorial Stadium, Jim Palmer went the distance for the O's as they defeated the Yankees. Lee May's tw orun homer in the fourth was the difference maker offensively for Baltimore.


Philadelphia 4 NY Mets 6
At Shea, a five run second inning outburst by the MEts was enough to give them the win over the Phillies. Thre of those five runs came from a bases clearing double by Felix Milan.


Milwaukee 16 Boston 14
It was a hitting bonanza at Fenway as the Brewers outslogged the Red Sox. The teams went through a combined 13 pichers and had a combined 35 hits. Most of the runs came early as Milwaukee led 14-10 after jsut 4 innings andheld on from there.
