Win:Cuellar(3-0) Loss:Veale(1-1)
Mike Cuellar shutout Pittsburgh while allowing the Baltimore bullpen a day-off
as the Baltimore Orioles defeated the Pittsburgh Pirates by the score of 2 to
0 at Memorial Stadium.
Cuellar(3-0) put on a good performance. He didn't allow much, just 9 hits and
no walks in 9 innings seeing his ERA drop from 1.53 to 1.01. Pittsburgh
threatened in the 9th but Baltimore was able to put down the rally.
Bob Veale(1-1) took the loss. Despite losing, he struckout 10 Baltimore
batters in 7 and 2/3 innings. Earl Weaver was in a talkative mood in the
clubhouse, 'Great game! If only we could win all of the close ones - wouldn't
that be nice! Since that's not going to happen, I think I'll savor this one
for a little while.'
