Billy Hoeft delivered 9 solid innings at Griffith Stadium where the Detroit
Tigers beat the Washington Nationals by the score of 6 to 2.
Detroit set the tone of the game in the first inning scoring 3 runs utilizing
5 base hits. Harvey Kuenn led off and he doubled. Bill Tuttle came next and
he hit a single scoring a run. After an out was recorded, Earl Torgeson
stepped up to the plate and he doubled driving in one more runner. After
another out, Jim Delsing came up and he laced a base-hit scoring the final
run of the inning. That early scoring was all that Hoeft(8-5) needed.
Detroit managed 11 in their victory.
Bob Porterfield(4-7) was hit with the loss. He got hit hard, allowing 10 hits
and 2 walks in 5 and 2/3 innings. 'He came out with good stuff,' Bucky

Billy Pierce whiffed 10 batters as the Chicago White Sox defeated the Boston
Red Sox by a score of 4 to 2 at Fenway Park.
Pierce(7-3) gave Chicago a solid outing. He was stingy on the mound, allowing
just 9 hits and no walks in 9 innings improving his ERA from 2.01 to 1.80.
Chicago banged out 10 on the night.
Mel Parnell(3-1) was hit with the loss. He gave up 3 runs and 7 hits in 6
innings. Pierce was humble when questioned about his performance, 'Well, I
felt pretty confident in my pitches tonight. But, I had great support behind
me and I just threw what was called. That was an extremely well called
game!'
