We had a nice balanced lineup and scored over 800 runs, good enough for 5th in the AL.
Unfortunately, we gave up 867 runs - 13th in the AL. The pitching staff had the 12th worst ERA with the starting pitchers posting a 5.30 ERA - 13th in the AL. Verne Ruhle led the staff with 11 wins (11-12, 4.50) and was "helped" by Steve Renko (10-13, 5.29), Gary Wheelock (10-10, 5.66), Glenn Abbott (7-8, 4.65), and Floyd Bannister (7-5, 4.15). My bullpen was the 2nd best in the AL and was led by closer Enrique Romo (4-3, 31 Saves, 2.35) who was my only All-Star.
