Billy Pierce whitewashed New York as the Chicago White Sox outscored the New
York Yankees 1 to 0.
Pierce(5-2) was in control of the game from the outset. He didn't allow much,
just 7 hits and 1 walk in 9 innings lowering his ERA to 1.91. New York
threatened in the 9th but Chicago was able to put down the rally.
Whitey Ford(6-3) was tagged with the loss. He pitched 8 innings giving up 6
hits and 4 walks. Casey Stengel was clearly disappointed after the game. 'It
was a manager's nightmare out there', he said, 'We should have had this one.'
Dick Donovan tosses a 7 hitter and the White Sox end the Yankee winning streak at 8 games 3-1.

Dick Donovan pitched a complete game as the Chicago White Sox topped the New
York Yankees by a score of 3 to 1 at Comiskey Park.
New York lost it in the 1st inning when Chicago did all their damage scoring 3
runs utilizing 4 base hits. Johnny Groth led off the inning for Chicago when
he drew a walk. After an out was recorded, Minnie Minoso stepped up to the
plate and he delivered a one-base hit bringing in a run. Minoso took second
on the throw. George Kell then laced a single. Jim Rivera was up next and
he stroked a base-hit bringing in another run. Sherm Lollar stepped into the
box and singled to load the bases. Chico Carrasquel kept the rally going and
hit a sacrifice fly scoring the final run of the inning. That early scoring
held up. Chicago had 8 hits for the afternoon.
Donovan(7-2), allowing 1 run for the game, picked up the victory. Tommy
Byrne(1-2) ended up with the loss. He allowed 6 hits and 4 walks in 5
innings.

The Boston Red Sox registered 4 runs in the 8th inning and toppled the Kansas
City Athletics by a 11 to 7 score at Municipal Stadium.
Boston scored the decisive runs in a big 8th inning when they scored 4 runs on
1 hit. The highlight belonged to Sammy White who deflated the crowd as he
quieted the crowd by clouting a Grand Slam (his 6th of the season). Although
they lost, Kansas City did out-hit Boston 15 to 9.
The victory was credited to George Susce(1-1) who went 4 innings, allowing 1
run. Bill Harrington(0-4) was charged with the loss in relief.
Jim Wilson tosses a 3 hit shutout as the Orioles beat the Tigers 3-0 sweeping the doubleheader and running their winning streak to 3 games.
