WEB GEMS- Top 3rd: Chuck Diering robbed Pete Runnels of an extra base hit.
Top 3rd: Chuck Diering robbed Roy Sievers of a Homerun!
Top 9th: Fred Marsh robbed Ed Fitz Gerald of a base hit.
Roy Sievers connected with a 'big fly' and had 3 RBI and Dean Stone pitched a
complete game as the Washington Nationals beat the slumping Baltimore Orioles
by a score of 8 to 6.
Washington had the game winning rally in the top of the 8th inning scoring 4
runners on 2 hits. The key offensive moment was provided by Sievers who
deflated the spirits of the home town crowd when he lost the ball over the
fence for three runs (his 9th of the season). Washington finished with 12
hits in the victory.
Stone(6-6), allowing 6 runs for the game, picked up the victory. Ray
Moore(5-8) suffered the loss. He got hit hard, allowing 10 hits and 5 walks
in 7 and 2/3 innings.
With this win, Washington has a 30-45 record. They have been 5-5 lately.
Baltimore continued their losing ways and their record is now 24-50, worst in
the league. They are 1-9 in their last ten games.
Ralph Kiner's Grand Slam gives Cleveland a 5-4 win over Detroit and a split of the doubleheader.

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.'
Ray Boone's 2 run double in the 9th gave Detroit a 2-1 win over Cleveland in the 1st of 2.

The Detroit Tigers came roaring back in the top of the ninth to spoil the
anticipated celebration of the hometown fans. The final score,, was 2 to
1.
Detroit came up with the deciding runs in the 9th inning with 2 runs on 2
hits. After an out was recorded, Al Kaline started the rally when he lashed
a single. Earl Torgeson next to the plate and he drew a walk. Ray Boone
then doubled knocking home two runners. The game was a scoreless duel until
the 8th inning.
Billy Hoeft(9-6) went 8 and 1/3 innings allowing 1 run for the win. Al Aber
recorded his 4th save. Art Houtteman(1-4) was the loser. He allowed 2 runs
and 6 hits in 8 and 1/3 innings.
Al Lopez was understandably not very talkative after his team's tough loss.
He quickly showered and changed and when asked about the game had a terse,
yet polite response, 'Hey fellows, that game was a heart-breaker to lose.
Our guys gave it their all and played well - fate just wasn't smilin' on us
this afternoon'
Walt Dropo homered and drove in 2 as the White Sox sweep the doubleheader from the Athletics 6-3.

Larry Doby had 2 base hits and Bob Lemon allowed Al Lopez to rest his bullpen,
tossing a complete game as the Cleveland Indians beat the Chicago White Sox
by a score of 3 to 2.
Lemon(8-7) gave Cleveland a solid outing. He allowed only 7 hits and 1 walk
in 9 innings. The pitchers took over after the 2nd inning as neither team
was able to score again.
Dick Donovan(10-3) took the loss. The Cleveland ballclub's record now stands
at 47-28. Chicago will hope that this loss is only a 'blip' on their recent
8-2 run - and not a start of a new trend.
Grady Hatton had 3 hits and 4 RBI leading Boston to a 6-2 win over Baltimore.
