Hank Aaron left the yard and had 3 RBI and Arnie Portocarrero allowed Robert
Baker to rest his bullpen, tossing a complete game as the New York-AL Yankees
defeated the Philadelphia-AL Athletics by a score of 5 to 2 at Connie Mack
Stadium.

In the 7th inning New York-AL scored 4 runs when they came up with 4 base
hits.  The critical plate appearance was by Aaron who deflated the mood of
the partisan fans when he lost the ball over the fence for three runs.  The
teams had been locked in a scoreless duel until the 7th inning.  

The win went to Portocarrero(5-3) who allowed 2 runs in the game. Lew
Burdette(5-6) was the losing pitcher.  He allowed 10 hits and 6 walks in 7
innings.
