1974 BOSTON RED SOX
...
The 1974 Boston Red Sox had the most prolific offense in
the American League and they slugged their way into first
place and the heart of the pennant race. But that offense
went silent at the season’s crunch point and a pitching
staff that lacked depth wasn’t able to make up the
difference. A Sox team that enjoyed a 7 game lead in the
AL East in the last week of August, fell behind by 7 games
just after the end of September. Following the 1973 season, former pitching coach and
manager of the Pawtucket Red Sox, Darrell Johnson, was
promoted to the parent club as manager. It was a busy offseason and the general manager Dick
O'Connell made a flurry of moves, none of which were
particularly enlightened. On October 23rd, Reggie Smith
got what he wanted and was traded to the St. Louis
Cardinals with Ken Tatum for pitcher Rick Wise and
outfielder Bernie Carbo. He dealt a young outfielder and future star, in
Ben Ogilvie to the Detroit Tigers. One that worked better
was trading starting pitcher Marty Pattin to the Kansas
City Royals for versatile pitcher Dick Drago. He also
picked up future hall-of-famer, Juan Marichal from the
Giants. On December 7th the Red Sox made another deal with the
Cardinals, this time sending pitchers Lynn McGlothen, John
Curtis and Mike Garman to St. Louis, for pitchers Reggie
Cleveland, Diego Segui and infielder Terry Hughes. In 1974, the pitching staff was completely dependent on
Luis Tiant and
Bill Lee.
El Tiante threw over 300 innings,
won 22 games and finished with a 2.92 ERA.
Lee’s ERA was
higher, at 3.51, but he logged over 280 innings and won 17
games. The rest of the rotation was pieced together with a
mix of Cleveland, Drago and Rogelio Moret. Segui was the top
reliever, but that didn’t mean he was good, finishing with
a 4.00 ERA. They ended up losing Rick Wise to arm problems.
Darrell Johnson decided
that he would use the designated hitter slot to give the
regulars a rest and give youngsters like Cecil Cooper
needed at bats. Cooper began to slowly emerge
and he batted .275. He also gave regular playing time to 22-year-old
Dwight Evans for the first time, and
Evans rewarded him
with solid numbers.
Tommy
Harper
was in decline in left field, but he still stole 28 bases.
Bernie
Carbo didn’t officially have a regular position, but he
got plenty of at-bats and finished with a .364 on-base
percentage. It wasn’t a lineup that looked fierce on
paper, but it was balanced and kept scoring
runs. The season started in Milwaukee on April 5th.
Carl Yastrzemski's home run rescued the Sox in a wild 9 to 8
victory. Then after several games postponed due to the
weather, the Sox opened at Fenway Park on April 11th, but
lost to the Orioles. The next day, April 12th, the Sox beat the Tigers at
home, 6 to 3, thanks to Bernie Carbo's grand slam and the
pitching of Bill Lee. Rick Wise made his Red Sox debut in
the second game and held down the Tigers, 8 to 1, giving
up six hits.
Tommy
Harper knocked out three hits, while Carbo,
Yaz and Bob Montgomery each had two. The Sox made
it three straight over the Tigers behind home runs from
the bats of
Yaz, John Kennedy and
Dwight Evans, and the
great relief work of Dick Drago, on April 14th. In New York, on April 17th,
Carl Yastrzemski slammed
his fourth home run of the season, leading the Sox back in
a 4 to 3 win. It would be the only game the
Sox would win in the three game set. BERNIE CARBO Against the Indians back at Fenway, Bernie Carbo's
two-run homer in the first inning helped the Sox to a 6 to
3 victory on April 19th.
Dwight Evans drove in a pair of
runs and
Yaz contributed a run scoring double. Carbo had
been on base 19 times in his last 40 at bats, and was
batting .323. The next day
Luis Tiant scattered nine hits
while Rico Petrocelli drove in a pair of runs, including
the eventual game winner, as the Sox won, 5 to 4. In the series finale with Cleveland on
April 21st, the Sox
were losing 5-1, going into the bottom of the 9th inning.
They tied up the game and won it, 6 to 5, with a 10th
inning, thanks to a wild pick-off attempt by Indians
pitcher, Milt Wilcox. Carl Yastrzemski stayed hot, slamming two homers
against the Royals in a 4 to 1 victory on April 22nd. The
result was first place in the A.L. East by 1/2 game. But
five straight losses later, mostly on the road, the Sox
were in 4th place, 2 games behind. The bench players (Terry Hughes, Dick McAuliffe and
John Kennedy) were weak. The relief pitching was thin.
Diego Segui had a rubber arm and
Luis Tiant hadn't pitched
like "El Tiante". But on April 28th, Cecil Cooper
momentarily stopped the skid and homered in the 13th
inning, for a 5 to 4 victory in Kansas City. The Sox (11-15) then returned to Boston and finished
the month and started May, by losing five of six at home
to non-contenders in the California Angels and Texas
Rangers. They had fallen down to 6th place, 3 1/2 games
out. After the Sox lost 10 of their last 11 games,
Rick Burleson
put a three run homer into the left field net giving Juan
Marichal his first American League win, 10-8, in the
second game of a doubleheader against the Rangers on May
5th. Dwight Evans had three hits, including a home run.
Rico Petrocelli had three hits also, while
Yaz,
Burleson
and McAuliffe each had two. Tiant and
Lee got it turned around, throwing
consecutive shutouts at the New York Yankees at Fenway,
allowing the Sox to rise above the last place rung in the
A.L. East. Bill Lee threw the first shutout on May 8th, 4
to 0. The next night
Tiant shutout the Yanks, 2 to 0. In Detroit on May 11th, the Sox came back from a 4-0
deficit for an 8 to 5 win. They knocked out 14 hits,
including four from Juan Beniquez and three each from
Rick Burleson and
Carlton Fisk. But the biggest hit of all was
Carl Yastrzemski's game winning double in the eighth
inning, on which
Yaz himself ended up scoring, thanks to
his great base running. The next night they again came from behind and left
Detroit with a 11 inning, 4 to 3 win. Dick McAuliffe
returned home and beat his former teammates, by making a
game-saving catch of a wind-blown pop up in the 9th
inning, with two men on. He then doubled in the winning
run in the 11th inning. In Cleveland the Red Sox hit three homers. Dick Drago
saved Juan Marichal and the Sox beat the Indians, 7 to 4
on May 15th. Rick Miller also had a good game with two
base hits and two stolen bases. The Sox lost 2 of 3 to the
Indians, however, and fell back into last place, but only
1 1/2 games out of first place. In Baltimore, after losing the opening game, the Sox
clobbered the Orioles. Nine runs in the final three
innings and a strong performance by
Luis Tiant allowed the
Sox to win, 10 to 2.
Dwight Evans had two hits, raising
his average to .361 RICO PETROCELLI The next day, on May 19th, the Sox swept the Orioles,
11 to 2 and 6 to 4 in a doubleheader.
Carlton Fisk hit a
tremendous two-run homer in the 9th inning of the second
game. Rico Petrocelli (.326 BA) and
Carl Yastrzemski (.333
BA) had five hits apiece.
Dwight Evans, Bernie Carbo, Juan
Beniquez had four each. The Sox road trip ended with six
wins in ten games and they returned to Boston, only 1/2
game out of first place. The Red Sox cleared the .500 threshold for good on May
21st, by bombing the Yankees, 14 to 6. Four RBIs, a home
run and a double were knocked in by
Rico Petrocelli and
three more by Cecil Cooper.
Rico had hit safely in his
last 11 games. They moved into first place the next day by
beating the Yankees again 6 to 3. The story was the Sox hitting. In five days the Sox
knocked out 73 hits. Juan Beniquez raised his average from
.170 to .280; Cecil Cooper raised his from .237 to .282
and Dwight Evans was batting .392 The Sox took 2 of 3 from the Brewers at Fenway Park.
They had 108 hits in their last eight games. Mario Guerrero had
a run of six straight hits. Only 23-20 going into the
Memorial Day weekend, the Sox managed to
lead the A.L. East, where all six teams were packed within
three games of each other. On Memorial Day, May 27th, Bernie Carbo pushed home
Dwight Evans with a 10th inning single to give the Sox a 3
to 2 walk-off victory over the Twins. Carbo, with a
two-run homer in the fourth and the game winning hit in
the tenth knocked in
all the runs. The next day the Sox shelled Bert Blyleven,
9 to 5, as seven different players knocked in runs. The Sox took 2 of 3 from the Twins and the started June
by taking 2 of 3 from the White Sox. In the first game on
June 1st, Luis Tiant shutout Chicago, 8 to 0, while
Carl Yastrzemski knocked out a homer and two singles. The Sox
won the next game on June 2nd, 9 to 7, coming from behind
with Rico Petrocelli hitting two homers. The Sox left for
Minnesota up 1 1/2 games over Milwaukee. In Minnesota, after losing to the Twins in extra
innings the night before, on June 4th, the Sox beat the
Twins 4 to 3 in 11 innings, thanks to Danny Cater's base
hit that knocked in
Tommy
Harper. Luis Tiant won his 5th
straight game as he beat the Twins the next night, 5 to 3. In Chicago, after losing the first two games of the
series, Bill Lee righted the Sox ship in a 10-6 victory on
June 9th.
Yaz
had three hits and Bob Montgomery also had
three hits, good for three RBIs. The Sox left town with a
1/2 game lead in the AL East. Back at Fenway, on June 10th,
Dwight Evans' three run
homer off Vida Blue powered the Sox to a 4 to 1 victory.
But Luis Tiant stole the show by keeping the powerful A's
off balance, the whole game. In the next game, on
June 11th, with the
score tied at 4-4 in the seventh inning and the bases
loaded, Diego Segui got Sal Bando and Reggie Jackson out.
The Sox scored five runs in the bottom of the inning and
held on for a 10 to 9 win. Finally, Mario Guerrero drove
in three runs, two with an eighth inning single, to break
a 3-3 tie, for a 5 to 3 victory and a sweep of the series
with the A's, on June 12th. The Sox then headed off to the west coast where they
first faced the Angels. After losing the first game of the
series in extra innings,
Carl Yastrzemski's two run
single, capped a three-run outburst in the fifth inning
that gave the Sox a 5 to 3 win on June 15th. In the final
game the next night, the Sox rallied for six runs in the
9th inning, highlighted by
Carlton Fisk's tie-breaking
two-run double that gave the Sox a come-from-behind, 7 to
4 win. Then the Sox made
the return trip to Oakland for another showdown with the
A.L. West leaders. In the first game, on June 17th,
the A's scored a walk-off 3-2 win. In the next game, Bob
Montgomery singled home a run in a three-run third inning
and had two other hits, to back Rogelio Moret, and lead
the Sox to a 6 to 1 win. The third game on June 19th, had another Tiant-Blue battle on
tap.
The Tiant-Blue battles were the highlight of a 9-3 stretch
for the Red Sox. The game was tied 1-1 in extra innings,
with both aces
determined to finish what they started. Boston scraped
over a run in the 11th, on a sacrifice fly by Montgomery
that scored Juan Beniquez, and the Sox won 2-1, taking two
of three in the series, and maintain a 3 1/2 game lead in
the A.L. East. Back at Fenway on June 22nd, the Sox split a
doubleheader with the Indians. In the next game,
Rico Petrocelli blasted two homers to lead the Sox to an 8 to 0
win. Rick Wise came off the DL and combined with Dick Drago on a four-hitter. Rico then belted a grandslam homer to pace the Sox in a
9 to 0 whitewash over the Brewers, who came to town on the
next night, June 24th. It gave
Luis Tiant, who struck out
10 batters, his 10th win and pushed the Sox lead to 4 1/2
games. But that their high water mark for the first half of
the season. They lost the next game to the Brewers and
headed out to Cleveland, where they lost 3 of 4. The killer
happened on June 28th. In the home plate collision,
Carlton Fisk tore the ligaments in his knee. He underwent
a hours of surgery and emerged in a full leg cast. Bob
Montgomery took over behind the plate but he was no
Fisk.
The Sox finished their road trip in Baltimore. On July
1st, Cecil Cooper's two-run homer sparked the Sox to a 6
to 4 win. In the next game, led by
Dwight Evans' two-run
single, the Sox exploded for four runs in the 9th inning
and came back to win 9 to 6. But they then lost six of seven at Fenway to the
Baltimore Orioles and Kansas City Royals, and came back to
the pack. By July 8th, they were in 3rd place, 1 1/2 games
behind the Indians. The Sox rebounded when the Rangers came to town,
sweeping the series. On July 9th, Cecil Cooper knocked out
two doubles and scored both of the Sox runs, while
Luis Tiant allowed four hits, giving the Sox a 2 to 1 win.
Reggie Cleveland shut down the Rangers the next night and
Bill Lee collected his 10th win in the final game.
Carl Yastrzemski,
Rico Petrocelli and Rick Miller each drove in
three runs in the 12-3 win. The Sox concluded a dismal 4-9 home stand by beating
the Angels, 3 to 0.
Luis Tiant allowed seven hits but came
thru when it mattered, to gain his 13th win. In Kansas City the Sox lost 2 of 3. But in the game
they did win on July 17th,
Carl Yastrzemski knocked out
his 10th home run to aid Rogelio Moret's six-hit pitching,
in a 6 to 3 win. Tiant picked up his 14th win against the Rangers,
setting down the first 12 batters he faced, in Arlington
on July 19th. The Sox took advantage of four Texas errors
to defeat them, 3 to 1. But the Sox lost three of the four
games. The Red Sox were able to take advantage of the weak
American League East in the first half of the season,
playing just over .500 baseball but managed to be in first
place by 1/2 game. When the All-Star break arrived, the
Sox were 50-45, the AL East still within five games from
top to bottom, and the Red Sox in the lead. In Pittsburgh, the National League All Stars jumped all
over Luis Tiant, who was tagged for three runs and four
hits in two innings of work. Luis picked up the loss in
the All Star Game on July 23rd, which the National League
won, 7 to 2.
Carl Yastrzemski also played in the game and
grounded out in his only plate appearance.
Carlton Fisk
was voted in as the American League catcher, but couldn't
play due to his leg injury. On July 25th, the Sox started the second half of the
season in Detroit.
Carl Yastrzemski slammed his
300th career homer, along with home runs from
Rico Petrocelli and Tommy Harper to beat the Tigers 12 to 4. In late July, the New York Yankees came to Fenway Park
and the Sox won three straight. They opened the series by
beating Yankee closer
Sparky Lyle with a walkoff on
July
27th. In the next game, the Sox broke a tie with two
runs in the sixth inning, one on a bases loaded walk to
Bernie Carbo and the next one on a base hit by Cecil
Cooper. They went on to win 8 to 3. They ended the series the same way on
July 29th. The Sox
backed Rogelio Moret with some outstanding defense and the
pushed across an unearned run, without a hit, in the 11th
inning for a 3 to 1 victory, after the 3 1/2 hour battle
was settled on Terry Hughes' bases-loaded sacrifice fly
with one out. After losing the first game to Detroit at Fenway, the
Sox cashed in on a missed third strike that got by the
catcher, that led to five unearned runs and
Luis Tiant's
16th victory on July 31st. The Sox finished July 2
1/2 games ahead of the Indians in the A.L. East. Against the Orioles on August 1st, Cecil Cooper drove
in four runs and
Rick Burleson knocked in three, to power
the Sox past Baltimore, 11 to 3. The next night,
Dwight Evans belted a two-run triple over Paul Blair's head in
center field in the seventh inning, to lift the Sox past
the Orioles, 7 to 5. The Sox ended their homestand, taking
six of the seven games. In New York, on August 4th,
Luis Tiant scattered ten
hits while
Rico Petrocelli and Bernie Carbo knocked in two
runs apiece, leading the Sox to a 7-3 victory in the first
game of a doubleheader. The second game, however, was
washed away.
Tiant won his 17th game, pitching out of some
tough jams, including a one out base-loaded situation in
the fourth inning. In Milwaukee, the Sox swept a doubleheader from the
Brewers, 6-3 and 6-0 on August 6th. Juan Marichal pitched
seven shutout innings in the second game. The Sox ripped
into Clyde Wright for 11 hits including a three-run homer
by Dwight Evans in the seventh inning of the night cap.
The Sox were less overpowering in the first game, scoring
two runs without a hit, including a stolen base by Bob
Montgomery who scored on a base hit by Cecil Cooper. Both
scored on a base hit by
Rico Petrocelli. The next day, Rogelio Moret held the Brewers' hitters
hitless until the eighth inning as the Sox won, 1-0. With
two outs in the eight, Pedro Garcia lined the first pitch
he saw into left field to break up the no-hitter. Moret
struck out six and walked two. The Sox lone run came in
when Doug Griffin got credit for a triple on a misjudged
fly ball and a base hit from
Rick Burleson. In Oakland on August 9th, Juan Beniquez's bases-loaded
double highlighted a four-run second inning that lifted
the Sox to a 6-2 win over the A's. On August 11th, Juan
Marichal came through again, as the Sox beat the A's, 2 to
1. Marichal worked eight innings and raised his record to
5 and 1. The only hits off Marichal were a lead-off single
by Billy North in the first inning, by Joe Rudi in the
fifth and an infield single by Reggie Jackson. It was the
seventh win over Oakland in nine games this season. After losing the first game of a series with the
Angels, Luis Tiant tantalized their hitters by shutting
them out, 3-0, on August 13th. It was
Tiant's 18th win and
second consecutive shutout over the halos. The win tied
him with Wilbur Wood for the most victories in the major
leagues. Tiant faced only 12 batters in the first four
innings. He allowed just four hits, in this, his fifth
shutout of the season, and permitted no Angel runners to
get past second base. The Sox returned from the road trip 4 games ahead of
the Indians, to meet the Twins at Fenway. On
August 16th, Juan
Beniquez chased home the winning run in the bottom of the
ninth in a 3 to 2 win. Two days later
Luis Tiant recorded
his 19th win when the Sox ripped the Twins, 9 to 6.
Rick Burleson drilled three doubles, one of which drove
home Carl Yastrzemski and Dick McAuliffe in the second
inning. In the sixth
Burleson doubled home McAuliffe to
put the Sox ahead 8-0, and in the eighth
Burleson
collected his third double and rode home on Juan Beniquez'
single. Against the White Sox the next night, August 19th,
Bill Lee and Diego Segui combined on a five-hitter, 6-1. Bob
Montgomery drove in one run and scored another. The Sox
scored their first runs in the fourth on a double by Doug
Griffin, who was driven in by Monty. They added two more
on sac flies by
Rico Petrocelli and Jim Rice.
Bill Lee
allowed only two hits while facing 18 batters in six
innings, to pick up his 14th win. Dwight Evans ignited the Sox in the next game with a
three-run, bases loaded, double in the third and Doug
Griffin turned in a succession of outstanding plays, in
leading the team to an 8 to 3 victory over Chicago. In the
series finale, Rogelio Moret fired a brilliant one-hitter
at the White Sox, as the Red Sox cruised to a 4-0 series
sweep. It was the second time in two weeks that he had
come close to a no-hitter. Dick Allen broke up his bid on
a slow infield grounder that Doug Griffin wasn't able to
reach in time. Moret struck out 12 and walked only three.
Rookie Jim Rice banged out two hits good for 2 RBIs. On August 23rd, the AL West leaders, the Oakland
Athletics, came to Fenway Park to meet the Sox.
Luis Tiant
became the first 20 game winner in the majors.
Tiant
blanked the A's, 3-0, scattering six hits and striking out
six, in posting his sixth shutout of the season. The Sox
jumped out in front quickly when
Tommy
Harper drilled Vida Blue's third pitch into the left
field screen. The Sox recorded 10-hits, led by
Carl Yastrzemski
with a double and two singles. As a result, the Sox
increased their lead in the AL East to 7 games. In Chicago on August 27th, Reggie Cleveland pitched the
Sox to a 6-1 victory.
Jim Rice's
bloop single with the bases loaded put the Sox ahead to
stay in the fourth inning. After losing the next game,
Bill Lee
beat Wilbur Wood who was looking for his 20th win, 3 to 2
on August 29th.
Tommy
Harper scored two runs with two hits. But once the other teams started playing well the Red
Sox couldn't keep up without the bat of
Fisk.
None of the Sox regulars hit more than 15 home runs and
they dropped in the standings. In Minnesota, the Sox lost
three straight, then traveled to Baltimore on September
2nd. Luis Tiant and
Bill Lee
pitched the first two
games and their best pitchers answered the bell. Both
threw complete games. Combined, they only gave up nine
hits and two runs, but they both lost.
It was perhaps the one of the worst displays of offensive
failures in Red Sox history. The offense mustered a combined five
singles in the two games and wasted
Tiant and
Lee’s
brilliance, losing 1-0 each time. In the series finale,
the Sox faced Cy Young winner Jim Palmer and got only
three more singles, losing this one 6-0.
The best offense in the American League had failed to
score a run in the biggest three games of the season to
date. They had only eight hits and all were singles. The Sox stumbled out of Baltimore and lost nine of the
next fourteen. They came home and lost two to Milwaukee
for their eighth consecutive loss. They had dropped into
second place, 1 1/2 games behind the Yankees. The Sox stopped their skid on September 7th. Mario
Guerrero's bases-loaded single brought home the winning
run, for a 4-3 victory in 10 innings, over the Brewers.
The Sox moved back into a first place tie the next day,
when rookie Dick Pole, with a strong relief job, led the
Sox in an 8-6 rally over Milwaukee. The Yankees came to Fenway, tied with the Sox atop the
AL East with a 74-65 record. On September 9th, they beat
the Sox 6 to 3 and then beat them 2 to 1 in the next game.
As a result, the Sox fell 2 games behind. On the road in Cleveland, the two teams split, then in
Milwaukee the Sox won only one of the three games. After winning only 5 of their last 20 games, the Red
Sox were three games out, with the Birds and Yanks
jousting at the top. The three-game set with Baltimore
would be followed by a three-game series in the Bronx. It
was now or never. The offense improved against Oriole pitching in the
opener, on September 20th, but that meant merely that they got a couple
extra-base hits and actually scored a run. But one run was
all they got, and Dick Drago’s strong outing was undone by solo
home runs given up to Don Baylor and Boog Powell. The Sox
lost 2-1, and then trailed 5-1 in the ninth the next day,
September 21st.
Finally, the bats awakened.
Dwight Evans hit a three-run homer,
the Red Sox tied it and they won in extra innings to keep
their season alive. But in the final game of the series, on September 22nd,
Boog Powell drove in three runs with three hits, including
a homer, resulting in a 7-2 Orioles win, as Baltimore
whipped the fading Sox in the rubber game of the three
game set. The Sox
were five games back with a week left. On September 24th,
Luis Tiant went into New York and threw a six-hit shutout to
win the opener of a doubleheader, 4-0. Rogelio Moret followed it up with a
complete-game 4-2 win, as the Red Sox clung to their faint
hopes. Bill Lee pitched the finale
the next day and took a shutout into the
ninth inning. But once again, there was no offensive
support and the Yankees scraped over a run to win 1-0. In spite of their collapse, the Red Sox had exceeded
expectations as the young players like
Dwight Evans,
Rick Burleson and Juan Beniquez along with Cecil Cooper,
excelled and gained valuable pennant race experience. And
in the September call up, were two future stars name
Fred
Lynn and Jim Rice. The outlook for the Red Sox going
forward would be very good.
