Off and running . . . for now.
Cubs look for omen
By VITO STELLINO UPI Sports Writer
The Chicago Cubs are only hoping it's a good omen. They won their 11th straight game Monday night.
Of course, they remember even better the last time they lost the pennant. That happened last year. That's why the Cubs tried not to get too excited when they beat the Pittsburgh Pirates 1-0 for their 11th straight.
The significance is that the last time they won 11 straight was in 1945. And those long-suffering Cub fans can't forget that's the last time they won the pennant.
The Cubs scored their only run on an error and were nursing that run in the ninth inning when the Pirates had runners on first and third and one out. Bob Oliver hit a one-bouncer at pitcher Hank Aguire, who only had to turn and fire to second to start the game-ending double play.
Plays it Safe
Aguirre played it safe and tossed to third to trap the lead runner who was caught in a run-down. Phil Regan then came on and got the final out and the strategy worked.
Lolich out to prove his worth
By STEVE SMILANICH UPI Sports Writer
Mickey Lolich is out to prove he gained the No.1 spot in Detroit's pitching rotation on merit and not by default.
The chunky Tiger lefthander, called upon to carry the mound load during Denny McLain's half season absence, responded again in magnificent fashion last Wednesday by hurling his second shutout, to give the Tigers their seventh straight triumph, a 5-0 success over the Cleveland Indians.
The 29-year-old Lolich struck out seven and walked none in beating Indian ace Sam McDowell, who was chased in the sixth inning.
"I should do all right," said Lolich recently, "if I can stick around for seven innings every time I pitch."

"The decision was made before I threw a pitch." Aguirre said after he relieved rookie Joe Decker. "I was told to 'look Roberto Clemente back' if I got the ball because the batter (Oliver) is a fast kid."
Clemente tripled with one out for the sixth hit off Decker, who got credit for his second major league win. Aguirre came on and walked pinch-hitter Bob Robertson.
