WEB GEMS- Top 6th: Yogi Berra blocked the plate, saving a run!
One run was the difference at Yankee Stadium as the dominant Cleveland Indians
defeated the New York Yankees 6 to 5.
Early Wynn(14-8) earned his pay with a solid performance for Cleveland. He
surrendered 5 hits and 3 walks in 6 innings. New York had a chance to come
back in the 9th but they came up short.
Ray Narleski earned his 21st save. Bob Grim(6-3) was the losing pitcher in
relief. Casey Stengel was subdued when questioned after the game, 'Sure,
this kind of loss takes a while to get over, but heck, we're all
professionals. We've been through this many times - it's the nature of the
game. We'll be fine - as for me - I'll be ready to go again tomorrow!'
