Arnie Portocarrero was able to finish what he started and was credited with a
complete game at Griffith Stadium as the New York-AL Yankees beat the
ice-cold Washington Nationals 10 to 2.
New York-AL jumped on top to stay in the 2nd inning when they scored 3 runs on
3 hits. That early scoring held up. New York-AL finished with 16 hits in
the victory.
Portocarrero(9-8) lasted until the end allowing 2 runs for the win. Johnny
Podres(5-8) was the losing pitcher. He allowed a few too many baserunners
giving up 10 hits and 3 walks in 6 and 1/3 innings.
New York-AL now has a record of 62-64. Washington continued their losing ways
and their record is now 43-75, worst in the league. They are 2-8 in their
last ten games.
