October 4, 1969 The Baltimore Orioles won a close contest 3-1 against the Minnesota Twins in game 1 of the ALCS. Oriole starter Mike Cuellar pitched a beauty of a game until the 9th inning when the Twins put runners on 2nd and 3rd with 1 out. Eddie Watt came on in relief of Cuellar and struck out both Minnesota pinch-hitters, preserving the win for Baltimore. Oriole shortstop Mark Belanger (pictured) had a nice day at the plate going 3 for 3 and driving in 2 runs. Game 2 tomorrow will feature Baltimore's Dave McNally taking on Jim Perry and the Twins. |
