LA 3 Minnesota 0

[basilrathbonejr]

A pair of 6-10 teams squared off in Los Angeles. Both needed a win desperately. Los Angeles with the win, has now won only once in ten games.

Minnesota came in on a three game losing streak.

The winner of this game would be looking to get well at the expense of the other.

LA scored three runs on five hits in the game and committed one error and Minnesota scored no runs on three hits and committed one error.

Barry Barnes (1-2) got the win. Barnes' lie...8IP 3H 0R 2BB 9SO.

Darryl Stargell pitched the ninth for his 4th save. He walked two but gave up nothing else.

All the runs came off one swing of Nellie Chiti's bat, a three run homerun in the 4th inning. It was Chiti's first of the season and the 2nd allowed by sing pitcher Jose Hajek in 27.2 innings pitched.
