Arnie Portocarrero delivered 5 solid innings as the Kansas City Athletics beat

the New York Yankees by a score of 5 to 1.



Kansas City delivered all the runs required in the 6th inning as they scored 5

runs on 4 base hits. The critical plate appearance was by Jim Finigan who

silenced the stadium when he lifted one out of the park for a two run home

run (his 8th of the season). The game was a scoreless duel until the 6th

inning.



Portocarrero(9-3) allowed no runs in 5 innings, and picked up the victory. Tom

Gorman got the save, his 13th. Whitey Ford(18-6) took the loss.
