The New York-AL Yankees bested the Washington Nationals by a 5 to 2 score at
Griffith Stadium.

New York-AL took the lead for good in the top of the 3rd inning scoring 2
runners on 3 hits.  The big moment was provided by Smoky Burgess who silenced
Griffith Stadium as he doubled bringing in two baserunners.  Washington had a
chance in the 9th but they came up short.  

Karl Drews(4-1) was the winner allowing 2 runs in 8 and 1/3 innings. Bob
Porterfield(2-5) suffered the loss.  He surrendered 5 runs and 10 hits in 9
innings.  

Robert Baker was beaming after the game, 'Not only were we making good
contact, but a lot of balls we hit seemed to have 'eyes'! I just love winning
these tight ones! It was just our evening - no doubt about it!'
