Philadelphia-AL claimed the early lead in the first inning when they came up with 3 runs on 3 hits. That was all Lemon(4-6) needed. Chicago-NL had a chance in the 9th but they came up short. Billy Hoeft was credited with his 1st save. The loss was charged to Joe Dobson(2-2). Ron Mead was subdued after the ballgame, 'That one really hurts. If our guys had simply played more fundamentally sound, we could have won that one. That is what really ticks me off!'
