The Detroit Tigers defeated the Washington Nationals by a score of 11 to 7 at
Griffith Stadium.

the 8th inning and doubled which plated a run in the 9th inning. For the
game Detroit out-hit Washington 17 to 14.
The winning pitcher was Ned Garver(6-4) who allowed 5 runs in 6 and 2/3
innings. Garver got relief help from Babe Birrer who gained credit for his
2nd save. Dean Stone(4-6) was the loser. He allowed Detroit 7 runs in 3 and
1/3 innings of work.

WEB GEMS- Bot 9th: Al Smith robbed Bill Skowron of an extra base hit.
Center fielder Larry Doby rocketed 2 homeruns and had 4 RBI as the Cleveland
Indians defeated the New York Yankees 9 to 7 at Yankee Stadium.
Cleveland came through with the game-winning runs in the top of the 9th inning
with 2 runs. Hank Majeski started the inning off right when he drew a walk.
Doby stepped up next and he blasted a two-run home run (his 21st of the
season). It was roller coaster of a game as the lead change hands 5 times.
The victory was credited to Ray Narleski(5-0) who went 2 innings, allowing no
runs. Tom Sturdivant(0-2) ended up with the loss in relief. He was knocked
around, surrendering 3 runs in 2 and 2/3 innings.
'I was in my hotel room the other night, working on my swing and made some
adjustments,' Doby said. 'I'm always working on it. If they are getting you
out certain ways, you've got to make changes.'

Vern Stephens touched them all and had 5 RBI as the Chicago White Sox defeated
the Boston Red Sox in 12 innings by a score of 11 to 8 at Fenway Park.
The score was tied at 8 after nine. Chicago came out on top in the 12th
inning. After two were out Sherm Lollar initiated the scoring when he
smashed a bases-empty 'big-fly' (his 4th of the season). Jim Busby came next
and he doubled. Walt Dropo then drew a walk. Bill Henry then bounced one in
the dirt for a wild pitch. Stephens came to the plate and doubled which was
good for two more runs. Boston proved to be no trouble in the bottom of the
12th.
Sandy Consuegra(3-2) went 2 innings allowing no runs for the victory.
Henry(1-4) was the loser in relief. He surrendered 3 runs and 3 hits in 1
inning.

The Cincinnati Redlegs had very little trouble at Crosley Field downing the
floundering Philadelphia Phillies. The score was 8 to 2.
Wally Post made sure the Cincinnati fans enjoyed themselves. He popped a
two-run clout over the fence (his 18th of the season) in the 1st inning,
doubled in the 3rd inning and doubled in the 8th inning. Offensively,
Cincinnati was a juggernaut. They scored in 6 separate innings.
The victory was credited to Art Fowler(8-1) who went 6 innings, allowing 2
runs. Fowler got relief help from Joe Black who gained credit for his 2nd
save. Curt Simmons(2-5) was tagged with the loss. He got hit pretty hard,
allowing 6 hits and 2 walks in 3 innings.
