Rico Petrocelli, who struck out twice and hit into a double play in previous trips to the plate, smashed a two-run homer in the eighth inning to carry the Red Sox to a 4-2 victory over the Athletics. Petrocelli's poke followed a single by Carl Yastrzemski. The Red Sox set an A. L. record and tied the major league mark for going down most often on strikes in two consecutive games, 29. Nolan Ryan of the Angels fanned 16 Red Sox batters in the previous night's game and Ken Holtzman and Bob Locker of the A's whiffed 13 more. [The Sporting News] |
