1975 Baseball Replay

OK, this has taken me forever, but in what little spare time I have, I'm doing a replay of the 1975 season, both AL & NL. I'll post highlights from games, and even occasionally make up quotes. Basically, it's for the handful of people who care, and for me to have fun with.

5/4/75 PITT @ PHIL

Ah, finally a win.  Thanks to Jerry Reuss, who went the distance, Pittsburgh beat the Phillies 7-3.  He didn’t dominate, but he did scatter 7 hits and 4 walks, keeping Philly from ever mounting a serious threat.

Three home runs (Dave Parker, Willie Stargell, and Richie Hebner) helped the cause.  Parker & Stargell hit theirs back-to-back in the 2nd inning, while Hebner’s pretty much finished the afternoon for Tom Underwood.

Errors by Tom Taylor (filling in for the recently traded Willie Montanez), Larry Bowa, and Mike Schmidt also hurt, but resulted in only 1 unearned run.  Mike Schueler and Gene Garber each threw 2 innings of scoreless relief.  Lowering their ERA to 1.23 and 1.06 respectively.
