Carl Erskine(1-0), with relief help from Don Bessent, whitewashed Cleveland
while the Brooklyn Dodgers scored 6 runs in a day game at Ebbets
Field.
Brooklyn took the lead off Bob Lemon in the first inning scoring a single run
on 2 hits. That early scoring was all that Erskine needed. Bessent pitched
a perfect ninth and was credited with his 1st save.
Lemon(0-1) absorbed the loss. He allowed 6 runs and 9 hits in 7 and 2/3
innings.
