Tom Seaver shut down the Boston batters on just 2 hits as the Pittsburgh Pirates crushed the Boston Beaneaters 12 to 0.
Seaver(1-0) was simply too much for the Boston batters. He allowed just 2 hits and no walks in 9 innings. Pittsburgh had 14 hits for the night.
Mike Cuellar(0-1) absorbed the loss. He allowed Pittsburgh 9 runs in 6 innings of work. Dean Amrhein was very impressed with his pitcher, Seaver, 'He had unusually good pitch placement tonight. It was almost unfair - but a beautiful game to watch from where I sat'
