Sam Jones completed the game without help from the bullpen as the Chicago Cubs
defeated the Philadelphia Phillies by the score of 3 to 2 at Wrigley
Field.
Chicago scored all of the necessary runs in the 4th inning scoring 3 runners
on 4 hits. Philadelphia had a chance to come back in the 9th but they came
up short.
Jones(6-7) got the victory, allowing 2 runs for the game. Robin Roberts(8-6)
suffered the loss. Stan Hack was beaming after the game, 'Not only were we
making good contact, but a lot of balls we hit seemed to have 'eyes'! I just
love winning these tight ones! It was just our day - no doubt about it!'

One run was the difference at Griffith Stadium as the Washington Nationals
defeated the Kansas City Athletics 7 to 6.
Washington came through with the game-winning runs in the bottom of the 8th
inning with 2 runs on 2 hits. After two were out Roy Sievers got things
rolling when he ripped a solo home run (his 6th of the season). Jerry
Schoonmaker stepped into the batter's box and he smashed a bases-empty
'big-fly' (his 1st of the season). Kansas City made it exciting in the 9th,
but they were unable to push the needed runs across.
The win went to Johnny Schmitz(5-4) who allowed 1 run in 4 innings. The loss
was charged to Tom Gorman(2-1) in relief. 'You have to give Kansas City
credit, they fought us tough to the end' Chuck Dressen said. 'It could have
gone either way, but I'm glad we pulled out the victory.'

Al Kaline had 3 base hits and 2 RBI and Duke Maas pitched 5 strong innings at
Memorial Stadium as the Detroit Tigers embarrassed the Baltimore Orioles by
the lopsided score of 10 to 0.
Detroit jumped out to the early lead in the first inning scoring one runner.
Fred Hatfield drew a walk. Bill Tuttle stepped up next and he laid down a
sacrifice bunt. Kaline then laced a single scoring the run. The early run
support proved sufficient for Maas(2-4) and Detroit. That was all the run
support Maas required. Detroit had 7 hits for the afternoon while Baltimore
had 4.
The loss was charged to Harry Dorish(1-2). He allowed just 1 hit and 1 walk
in 5 innings.
