Kansas City promptly took the lead in their half of the first with 3 runs using 4 hits. After an out was recorded, Johnny Logan got things rolling when he lined a single. Mickey Mantle stepped up to the plate and he doubled. Ken Boyer then belted a three-run homer. That early run support was enough for Antonelli(13-9) and Kansas City. Kansas City totaled 7 hits on the afternoon. Joe Nuxhall(3-6) suffered the loss. He allowed 7 hits and 2 walks in 8 innings.
