WEB GEMS- Bot 5th: George Kell robbed Don Blasingame of a base hit.
Al Kaline cleared three ducks from a very crowded pond with a grand slam at
Municipal Stadium as the Cleveland Indians beat the Kansas City Athletics 9
to 6.
Paul Foytack(3-6) labored throughout the game but hung around to record a
victory. He gave up 6 runs in 7 and 2/3 innings and surrendered 4
'long-bombs'. Don Mossi came throught with a perfect ninth inning to earn
his 2nd save.
Frank Lary(5-4) was hit with the loss. He was hit hard and gave up 12 hits
and 5 walks in 8 innings.
