2/3 innings.

Ned Garver went the distance as the Detroit Tigers topped the Boston Red Sox
by a score of 5 to 4 at Fenway Park.
Detroit set the tone of the game in the first inning when they tallied 2 runs
on 2 hits. The key offensive moment was provided by Earl Torgeson who
deflated the crowd as he popped a two-run clout over the fence (his 2nd of
the season). Detroit and Boston each finished the night with 9 hits.
The win was credited to Garver(5-4) who went the whole way allowing 4 runs.
Willard Nixon(4-6) was hit with the loss. He gave up 9 hits and 5 walks in 9
innings.

The Washington Nationals sent Bobby Kline and Tony Roig to Triple A and called up Jose Valdivieso.
Kline, a 26 year old rookie shortstop, was handling the bat well with a .254 average and 18 RBI in 44 starts. He was sent down due to his fielding miscues, 14 errors, and poor range. (Kline would never play in the majors again)
Roig, a 28 year old rookie infielder, was hitting .200 with 2 RBI in 59 plate appearances. This was his 2nd attempt to stick with the Nationals as he appeared in 3 games with 8 at bats in 1953.
Valdivielso is a 21 year old shortstop from Matanzas, Cuba. Nationals skipper Chuck Dressen said that Valdivielso will be the starting shortstop.AL transaction June 21st

WEB GEMS- Bot 1st: Roberto Clemente robbed Eddie Mathews of a Homerun!
Johnny Logan had 3 base hits as the Milwaukee Braves defeated the reeling
Pittsburgh Pirates 5 to 4 at County Stadium.
In the 3rd inning Milwaukee scored 3 runs when they had 4 base hits. The
crucial at-bat was provided by Hank Aaron who excited the crowd when he
smashed a two-run homer (his 15th of the season). Pittsburgh threatened in
the 9th but Milwaukee was able to put down the rally.
Gene Conley(8-4) got the win allowing 4 runs in 6 and 1/3 innings. Ernie
Johnson earned his 3rd save. Vern Law(5-5) was charged with the loss. He
gave up 9 hits and 8 walks in 7 and 2/3 innings.
Monday, September 25, 2006
Wally Moon hit a walk off homerun, his 2nd of the game, as the Cardinals edge the Phillies 6-5.
