New York-AL fell behind quickly as the Cincinnati offense came through in the first inning when they tallied 3 runs on 4 hits. The key offensive moment was provided by Larry Doby who made the home-town crowd a happy bunch when he lifted one out of the park for a two run home run. Cincinnati out-hit New York-AL for the game, 14 hits to 7. Jim Hearn(3-3) went 6 innings allowing 2 runs for the victory. Hearn got help from Frank Smith who earned his 8th save. Max Surkont(2-5) suffered the loss. He got hit pretty hard, allowing 9 hits and 3 walks in 5 innings.
