Andy Pafko had 2 base hits as the strong Philadelphia-AL Athletics defeated

Philadelphia-AL went ahead for good in the 6th inning scoring a single run on
2 hits.  Washington threatened in the 9th but Philadelphia-AL was able to put
down the rally.  

Bob Lemon(13-3) got credit for the victory, pitching 6 innings and allowing 2
runs. Lemon was helped out by Luis Aloma who recorded his 14th save.  Warren
Spahn(8-8) was charged with the loss.  He pitched 9 innings and surrendered 7
hits and 3 walks.

'We just made a lot of mistakes, mostly mental,' Gordy Renaud said.  'It's bad
enough when the other team beats you, but when you start beating yourselves,
that's really bad.'
