CHAPTER 7 NOTES
The Baltimore Orioles went 5-1 in Chapter 7 and vaulted themselves into a tie for 5th place in the playoff standings. Dave McNally led the way with shutout wins over Houston (2-0) and Boston (4-0). Jackie Brandt won 2 game MVPs with home runs against Minnesota and the New York Mets while John Orsino's 3 run shot sunk the hapless White Sox 5-3.
Milwaukee finished the chapter with wins over the Dodgers (5-2) and the Reds (11-3) and will start off chapter 8 as the King of the Hill.
Detroit's Denny McLain went 8 2/3 innings without giving up a hit until Jesus Alou singled. Nevertheless, McLain ended up with a 1 hit complete game shutout win over the San Francisco Giants.
Willie Mays continues to lead the race for the 1965 MVP. Mays has a slash line of 535/900/1435 , best in all 3 stats. Using more traditional measures, Mays trails Joe Torre in HR (9-8), RBIs (24-16) but leads in AVG (450-386). The final MVP award will be based on performance in 10 different batting categories.
