Tom Seaver struck out 10 batters as the Pittsburgh Pirates defeated the
Cleveland Indians by the score of 5 to 2 at Three Rivers Stadium.
Seaver(1-0) put on a good performance. He surrendered only 5 hits and 2 walks
in 8 innings. Overall Pittsburgh out-hit Cleveland 8 to 5.
Seaver got relief help from Diego Segui who gained credit for his 1st save.
The losing pitcher was Jim Hunter(0-1). Craig Cunningham was upset after the
game. 'I don't like to complain but did you see that umpires strike zone?',
he said. 'Maybe they ought to start calling the strike zone the way it's
printed in the rule book.'
