Daniel's last two wins have been shut out, both against the White Sox.

Beats them out, beat them three to nothing both times.

And he's done quite a job to change the complexion of this American League pennant race.

Now the first pitch to Lins is a strike right in there.

Still Lins, batting at 250 with five homers, 22 RBIs. Tony Kubick, still out of the Yankee lineup. Day-to-day proposition is the one he will return. Next pitch to Phil, a hit into the air in his short left. Going back to shortstop, Brinkman coming in, Hinton, and Brinkman, with his back to the infield takes it. A nice play by Ed Brinkman coming in, Hinton, and Brinkman with his back to the infield takes it.

A nice play by Ed Brinkman going down the left field side.

So there's one away.

That'll bring up Bob Richardson.

Bobby batting at 267, four homers, 47 RBIs.

Richie has raised his average 13 points in the last 14 ballgame.

He's been batting at a 393 clip.

Now Daniels, the big right-hand there, sidearm, sinker outside, 1-0.

Benny Daniels, who always seems to have a little more promise

than the type of years that he comes up with.

He's 8 and 10 right now.

There's a sidearm, fastball caught the corner, one-on-one.

One ball, one strike.

Only two other games in action right now,

both of those in the National League,

where Cincinnati and the Mets are scoreless after two,

and San Francisco and the Cubs also scoreless after two innings of play.

Those are big games.
