Shortstop Eddie Joost launched 2 homeruns and had 3 RBI as the Cleveland Indians topped the Washington Nationals by a score of 8 to 6 at Municipal Stadium. Joost enjoyed a big day at the plate. He bombed a two-run dinger in the 2nd inning and smashed a solo-shot out of the park in the 4th inning. Washington threatened in the 9th but Cleveland was able to put down the rally. Howie Fox(2-0) was the winner allowing 5 runs in 8 innings. Fred Martin preserved the game for Fox, recording his his 12th save. Warren Spahn(4-3) ended up with the loss. He served up 3 homeruns in his 4 innings. 'We lose our concentration for one pitch, and we lose the game.' Gordy Renaud said after the game. 'Maybe now these guys will listen when I say they have to concentrate on EVERY pitch.'
