WEB GEMS- Bot 7th: Frank House blocked the plate, saving a run!

Right fielder Al Smith had 3 base hits as the Cleveland Indians defeated the
Detroit Tigers 5 to 4 at Municipal Stadium.

Cleveland had 4 runs cross the plate in the bottom of the 6th inning. The
critical plate appearance was by Ralph Kiner who excited the crowd when he
caught a hold of a fastball for a Grand Slam homerun (his 12th of the
season). Detroit made it exciting in the 9th, but they were unable to push
the needed runs across.

The win was credited to Bob Feller(5-2) who went 1 inning allowing no runs.
Don Mossi was credited with his 4th save. The losing pitcher was Steve
Gromek(5-7). He gave up 5 runs and 8 hits in 8 innings.

'You have to give Detroit credit, they fought us tough to the end' Al Lopez
said. 'It could have gone either way, but I'm glad we pulled out the
victory.'
