NL Transaction June 19th
The Pittsburgh Pirates placed 28 year old 3B George Freese on the DL today. Freese was hitting .250 with 2 homers and 19 RBI in his rookie season (he had made 1 plate appearance with the Tigers in 1953). It looks as if he will miss the rest of this year.

Herb Score dominated striking out 10 Boston batters as the Cleveland Indians
defeated the Boston Red Sox in 13 innings by the score of 5 to 3 at Fenway
Park.
The score was knotted at 2 after nine innings. Cleveland won the game in the
13th inning. Larry Doby got things going when he doubled. Hank Majeski
stepped up to the plate and he drew a walk. After an out was recorded, Dave
Philley came to the plate and drew a walk to load the bases. Sam Dente was
up next and he laced a single driving home two runs. Hank Foiles stepped
into the box and laced a base-knock scoring the final run of the inning.
Cleveland rapped out 10 hits for the afternoon.
Don Mossi(4-2) picked up the victory, allowing 1 run in 2 innings. Leo
Kiely(1-3) took the loss in relief. Cleveland continued their winnings ways
improving their record to 40-23. They are 8-2 in their last ten games.

First baseman Bill Skowron connected with a 'big fly' and had 2 RBI at Yankee
Stadium where the New York Yankees beat the Chicago White Sox 4 to 3.
New York did all of it's offensive work in the 6th inning when they tallied 4
runs on 3 hits. The critical plate appearance was by Skowron who made the
crowd happy when he smashed a two-run homer (his 6th of the season). Chicago
had a chance in the 9th but they came up short.
Johnny Kucks(5-2) allowed 3 runs in 8 innings, and picked up the victory.
Kucks got relief help from Bob Grim who gained credit for his 1st save. Jack
Harshman(4-4) was the loser.
The New York ballclub's record now stands at a league leading 43-22. With the
loss, Chicago has a record of 7-3 lately, 37-22 overall.
