Milwaukee Braves by the score of 9 to 3 at Crosley Field.
Milwaukee was unable to claim the lead after Cincinnati went ahead in the 4th
inning as they scored 3 runs on 3 base hits. The key at-bat was by Johnny
Temple who made the home-town crowd a happy bunch when he banged out a single
which was good for two runs. Cincinnati finished with 12 hits in the
victory.
The victory was credited to Podbielan(1-0) who went the distance, allowing 3
runs. Joey Jay(0-1) was hit with the loss.
The Redlegs Art Fowler returns to action and beats Warren Spahn and the Braves 5-2 for his 5th win
Strat-O-Matic Report
Fowler ups his record to 5-1 with a 2.37 ERA. Last year was a disaster for the righthander as he was 6-23 with a 5.06 ERA.

WEB GEMS- Bot 4th: Kansas City turns a triple play!
Vic Power slammed a homerun as the Kansas City Athletics defeated the Detroit
Tigers by the score of 4 to 3 at Briggs Stadium.
Kansas City started with a bang, jumping out to an early lead in their half of
the first when they tallied 3 runs on 4 hits. The highlight belonged to Gus
Zernial who quieted the home crowd when he slapped a one-base hit which was
good for two runs. Detroit had a chance in the 9th but they came up short.
The victory went to Vic Raschi(2-1) who went 7 and 2/3 innings, allowing 2
runs. Tom Gorman was credited with his 2nd save. The losing pitcher was Duke
Maas(1-4). He allowed a few too many baserunners giving up 11 hits and 2
walks in 8 innings.

Billy Pierce was able to finish what he started and was credited with a
complete game as the Chicago White Sox outscored the Cleveland Indians 4 to
1.
Chicago delivered all the runs required in the 3rd inning when they scored 4
runs on 5 hits. That scoring would be all that was needed. After the 3rd
inning, neither team was able to score.
The winning pitcher was Pierce(4-2) who allowed 1 run for the game. Mike
Garcia(4-5) took the loss. He allowed 4 runs and 6 hits in 4 innings.
