Bob Lemon pitched a complete game as the Cleveland Indians outscored the

Kansas City Athletics 7 to 3.

 

Cleveland started with a bang, jumping out to an early lead in their half of

the first scoring 3 runners on 3 hits.  The critical plate appearance was by

Vic Wertz who thrilled the crowd when he popped a two-run clout over the

fence (his 13th of the season).  Cleveland finished with 10 hits in the

victory.  

 

Lemon(12-9) lasted until the end allowing 3 runs for the win. Art Ditmar(4-13)

was the losing pitcher.  He gave up 7 runs in 6 and 2/3 innings of work.
