April 30, 1969...GAME 18 (MIN 3, SEA 1)

Second loss in a row. Brabender gave up 3 in the first 3 innings and the anemic Pilot offense was never able to recover. Bouton tossed a scoreless 8th and recorded one "K" of Johnny Roseboro. When you hold that All-Star Twin lineup to 3 runs you should be able to win, but this was not in the cards for the Pilots. Hall and Perranoski combined for a 4 hitter. The lone Pilot run came in the 5th when Jose Vidal stole home on a unique triple steal attempt while Brabender was up with 2 outs. Lots of confidence being shown in Brabender's bat with that play call.
