Ted Cox spoils ‘Thanks Brooks Robinson Day’

ByBaseball

In front of a sell-out crowd of 51,798 at Memorial Stadium on ‘Thanks Brooks (Robinson) Day’, Red Sox designated hitter Ted Cox goes 4-for-4, tying the big league mark shared by Casey Stengel, Willie McCovey, Mack Jones, and Forest Jacobs for the most hits in a major league debut. The performance is also the start of a historic two-game hitting streak by the rookie DH, who will collect two hits in his first two at-bats in tomorrow’s contest to become the only player to begin a big league career with six consecutive hits.

After losing five of his last six decisions, Chicago’s Rick Reuschel notches his 20th victory, beating the Mets, 6 – 5. Reuschel leaves after six innings because of a blister, but racks up two hits and three ribbies at the plate.
