Carew Comes Through as AL Stars Down Nationals 5-2
Pittsburgh--Minnesota's Rod Carew doubled home a pair of go-ahead runs lifting the American League All-Stars to a 5-2 victory in the Joy in Mudville League inaugural All-Star Game.
Carew's heroics scored Detroit's Bill Freehan and Oakland's Reggie Jackson. Freehan led off the top of the ninth inning by doubling off Cincinnati reliever Clay Carroll. After Jackson was issued an intentional walk, New York Yankee Roy White bunted both runners ahead one base.
The AL added an insurance run when short stop Ed Crosby of St. Louis committed a throwing error which allowed Carew to score.
The Nationals did manage a threat in the bottom of the ninth. Singles by Rico Carty and Roberto Clemente brought the tying run to the plate. However, Baltimore left-hander Dave McNally got Chicago Cub Billy Williams to ground out.
Joe Horlen of the Chicago White Sox was the winning pitcher. McNally was credited with a save. Carroll was the loser.
