THE "GOLD DUST TWINS" AND
May 22, 1975 ... Jerry Remy scored after a leadoff triple and then drove in two more runs to help the California Angels beat the Red Sox, 6 to 3. Remy started the game by slamming the ball over Fred Lynn's head in center field and then scored on a sacrifice fly by Mickey Rivers. Billy Smith then tripled over Dwight Evans' head on a ball he shied away from, and scored when Remy lined a sac fly to left in the third inning. Lynn's fifth homer of the year was a three-run shot into the Sox bullpen, after singles by Carl Yastrzemski and Jim Rice, with two outs, that gave the Sox a 3 to 2 lead in the third inning. Lynn also had two more hits in his return to the Sox lineup. Bill Singer beat Rick Wise though each pitched similar games. While Wise's Sox teammates fouled up a couple of key plays, he was beaten on five straight singles with two outs in the fourth inning. In the decisive fourth inning, with two outs, Dave Chalk singled and scored on singles by Tom Egan and Morris Nettles. Smith singled in the tying run and Remy capped the rally with a sharp ground single to right. Smith was thrown out trying for third on Remy's hit, and Rick Wise retired the next 12 batters in order, but the damage had been done. The Angels had a 5-3 lead. The Angels' final run came in the ninth inning when Bruce Bochte singled, was moved up to second on a sacrifice bunt, and scored on Nettles' single to center. Angels' starter, Bill Singer settled down after Lynn's homer and went on to his fourth win in nine decisions. |
