At Municipal Stadium the Kansas City Athletics easily handled the Washington

Nationals by the score of 5 to 1.

 

Kansas City jumped on top to stay in the bottom of the 4th inning with 2 runs

using 4 hits.  After an out was recorded, Hector Lopez began the Kansas City

spurt when he laced a single.  Clete Boyer came next and he stroked a

one-base hit.  Joe Demaestri then slapped a single knocking in a run.

Demaestri then stole second base.  After another out, Arnie Portocarrero

stepped up to the plate and he lined a base-hit scoring the final run of the

inning.  Overall Kansas City out-hit Washington 13 to 3.  

 

The victory went to Portocarrero(8-3) who went 6 innings, allowing 1 run. Ted

Abernathy(5-8) was charged with the loss.  He allowed a few too many

baserunners giving up 11 hits and 2 walks in 6 innings.
