The Kansas City Athletics scored 4 runs in the 7th inning and defeated the
Baltimore Orioles by a score of 5 to 1 at Memorial Stadium.
Kansas City tallied 4 runs in the 7th inning. The highlight belonged to Enos
Slaughter who disappointed the partisan crowd when he emptied the bases with
a Grand Slam homerun (his 4th of the season). Kansas City had just 6 hits
for the afternoon.
Marion Fricano(1-0) was the winner allowing no runs in 2/3 of an inning. Ed
Lopat(5-6) took the loss. He was a hard-luck loser as he did not allow an
earned run in his 6 and 2/3 innings of work.
