Bob Turley struck out 14 batters as the New York Yankees defeated the
Cleveland Indians by a score of 4 to 3 at Yankee Stadium.
Turley(2-1) put on a good performance. He allowed only 4 hits and 7 walks in
9 innings and surrendered 2 'long-bombs' seeing his ERA drop from 5.04 to
4.58. The Cleveland offense proved no trouble in the 9th.
Don Mossi(1-1) was the loser in relief. Turley was jubilant in the hometown
clubhouse, 'It was a lot of fun out there. The fans gave me a lot of support
as did my teammates. We got the victory and I'll sure take 14 strikeouts
anytime!'
Red Sox score winning runs on George Kell's 2 out error. Nellie Fox goes 5-5 in losing cause.

With the hometown crowd on the edge of their seats, Boston Red Sox came from
behind to top Chicago White Sox, 4 to 3.
Boston erupted with the game winning runs in the 9th inning scoring 3 runs
using 2 hits. Billy Goodman kicked off the action when he slapped a single.
Gene Stephens followed, but he was set down on strikes. Harry Agganis then
drew a walk. Jackie Jensen was up next and he delivered a base-hit to load
the bases. Grady Hatton came to the plate and drew a walk scoring a run.
One out later, Billy Klaus stepped in and he reached on an error making
Boston victorious to the delight of the the home town crowd. Boston rapped
out 8 hits for the afternoon.
Ellis Kinder(2-1) picked up the victory, allowing no runs in 1 inning. Virgil
Trucks(2-3) was the losing pitcher. Pinky Higgins was in great spirits in
his post-game interview. Yet, when asked about his feelings after the
thrilling comeback victory, he volunteered, 'I'll tell you this much - I know
how my counterpart, Marty Marion, feels right now - and it's not very good.
It's terrible when you come up on the short end of one of these!'

Duke Snider launched 2 homeruns and Russ Meyer pitched a complete game as the
Brooklyn Dodgers crushed the Chicago Cubs 13 to 2.
Snider enjoyed a big day at the plate. He lofted a solo-blast 'downtown' in
the 5th inning and launched a Grand Slam homerun (his 3rd of the season) in
the 7th inning. Brooklyn simply wore out the Chicago pitching staff, scoring
in 6 different innings.
The victory went to Meyer(2-2) who went the distance allowing 2 runs. John
Andre(1-1) was given the loss. He got hit hard, allowing 9 hits and 2 walks
in 4 and 2/3 innings.

Ernie Johnson had a strong outing at County Stadium where the Milwaukee Braves
beat the Pittsburgh Pirates by the score of 5 to 1.
Johnson(2-1) was simply too much for the Pittsburgh batters. He didn't allow
much, just 4 hits and 2 walks in 9 innings reducing his ERA from 4.05 to
2.30. Milwaukee managed 9 in their victory.
Max Surkont(1-5) was the losing pitcher. He was touched for 3 homeruns in his
2 and 2/3 innings of work. 'All of my pitches were working tonight,' Johnson
said. 'I felt really good out there, and heck, I think I could have gone
longer.'

1955 Strat-o-matic replay
Strat-O-Matic Report
After finishing 1954 (Indians sweep Giants in World Series), I have begun my 1955 as played replay. Both pennant winners have gotten off to sluggish starts this year.
The suprise in the AL has been the Washington Nationals. In 1954 they finished strong and have begun 55 in the same way.
In the NL the Milwaukee Braves bolted out of the starting gate opening a modest lead over the rest of the league.
