ByThis Day in Baseball

Graig Nettles homers for the Yankees in the first inning, and brother Jim Nettles homers for the Tigers in the 2nd. This is the second time that the two brothers have homered in the same game for different teams, having done it on June 11, 1972, when Graig was with Cleveland and Jim with Minnesota. Graig’s team wins, 10 – 7.

In Los Angeles, the Reds defeat the Dodgers, 4 – 2, to pull to within 1 1/2 games of the National League West lead. That’s as close as they’ll come as they lose six of their next eight games.
