The Rams received bad news this morning. Tim McCarver will miss 2 months due to a torn calf muscle. In the Denver-Cleveland game he sustained the injury while running the bases.

In the current season, McCarver has put up a .261 batting average with 78 hits, 6 home runs, 26 RBIs and scored 35 times.

 | Saturday, August 5th, 1967: Bees Win, Shut Out Denver
Joe Horlen was stingy with runs in his latest outing against the Rams. He shut them out 2-0 on 5 hits with 8 strikeouts and 1 walk.
The Boston manager said, "Joe was very aggressive tonight. He threw everything he had with a lot of confidence."
The losing manager had praise, too. "He was throwing strikes with all his pitches and mixing it up well. Horlen has a sneaky fastball, and whatever that offspeed pitch was, it was keeping our timing off."
In 1967, Horlen has chalked up 12 wins and 8 losses in 24 starts with 84 strikeouts in 183.1 innings and a 2.85 ERA.

 | Tuesday, July 25th, 1967: Stottlemyre Spins Shutout Against Huns
The Baltimore Huns met their match today in Denver hurler Mel Stottlemyre. He kept them guessing the whole game and spun a 5-hit shutout.
"He just worked us over," the Baltimore skipper said. "He probably didn't even take a shower after the game. I don't think he even worked up a sweat. They could probably pitch him again tomorrow."
In the 5-0 victory Stottlemyre whiffed 3 and gave up 2 walks.
To date in 1967, Stottlemyre sports a 7-7 mark with a 4.76 ERA in 18 starting assignments. He has held the opposition to a .238 batting average and has 73 strikeouts in 134.1 innings.
