Bob Bailey cracked a homer and had 3 RBI as the Pittsburgh Pirates defeated the Cleveland Indians 8 to 6 at Municipal Stadium.
Pittsburgh set the tone of the game in the first inning scoring 2 runners on 2 hits. Cleveland threatened in the 9th but their rally came up short.
Tom Seaver(1-0) picked up the victory, allowing 4 runs in 6 and 1/3 innings. Bill Campbell recorded his 1st save. Bruce Dal Canton(0-1) absorbed the loss. He gave up 7 runs in 6 innings of work.
'We lose our concentration for one pitch, and we lose the game.' Craig Cunningham said after the game. 'Maybe now these guys will listen when I say they have to concentrate on EVERY pitch.'
