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 SD @ LA

In games Dave Freisleben has started, the Padres have won 5-4, lost 6-4, won 2-1, lost 3-2 in 12 innings, and today was no exception, falling to the Dodgers 3-2.

San Diego struck first when Dave Winfield singled home Gene Locklear in the 3rd.  LA tied it up in the 5th when Davey Lopes’ single scored Rick Auerbach from second.

The Dodgers picked up two more in the 7th.  Steve Yeager singled to lead off the inning.  Auerbach flew out to center, but Ken McMullen, pinch hitting for starter Burt Hooton, doubled to put runners on second and third.  That ended the day for Freisleben, relieved by Alan Foster, making his first appearance of the year.  His nerves showed as he gave up a sacrifice fly to Lopes, walked Jimmy Wynn, and then gave up a single to Ron Cey, scoring McMullen.  He got himself off the hook by then picking Cey off first.

San Diego got a run back in the 8th when Winfield again singled home Locklear, but that’s as close as they would get.

The win moved the Dodgers back to .500 for the first time since April 9th, when they were 1-1.  They will host the Astros in a 3 game series starting tomorrow.  The Padres will travel tomorrow to the heartland, beginning with 3 games against the first place Big Red Machine.
