WEB GEMS- Bot 2nd: Billy Martin robbed Wally Post of a base hit.
The Kansas City Athletics nipped the Pittsburgh Pirates 4 to 3 at Forbes Field
in a hard fought contest.
Kansas City delivered all the runs required in the 3rd inning scoring 4
runners on 4 hits. The early run support proved sufficient for Larry
Jackson(2-0) and Kansas City. That was all the run support Jackson required.
Kansas City and Pittsburgh each finished the afternoon with 7 hits.
Jackson got help from Marv Grissom who earned his 3rd save. Herb Score(0-1)
was the losing pitcher. He surrendered 4 runs and 5 hits in 7 innings.
