Spiders Best Rangers in Pitching Duel
Cleveland Spiders starter Vinny Mendoza turned in a top-notch performance against the Texas Rangers at Cleveland Stadium 1980. The result was a win for the Spiders, 2-1. In 8.1 innings, Mendoza surrendered 6 hits, while striking out 6 and walking 2. He allowed 1 run. Cleveland has a record of 54-55, placing them 4th in the American League East Division.

Gary Gaetti was 1 for 3 for Cleveland. The 23-year old third baseman had a key at-bat in the bottom of the sixth. With no one out and runners on 2nd and 3rd, he broke a 1-1 tie with a run-scoring sacrifice fly off Tim Leary. It was his 18th RBI of the season.

"The key at this level is throwing strike one," said Mendoza. "Successful pitchers do it."
