Interesting aspect of these two games... note how long it took to play each game: 1:27 for the first game, 2:19 for the second game.

I was reading an article in Sports Illustrated about Harvey Haddix’s heartbreaking game where he pitched a perfect game for 12 innings and lost in the 13th. That game... all 13 innings... only lasted 3 hours

Today’s 9-inning games last close to 3 hours...

Part of that is due to lack of pitching changes. I see from the box scores that there was only one change during both games. Tamulis gave up 9 runs before being pinch hit for in the ninth.
