Bob Lemon pitched a complete game and first baseman Gil Hodges had 4 hits and

Hodges had a big day against Washington. He lined a one-base hit in the 4th
inning, ripped a base-knock in the 5th inning, doubled which was good for two
runs in the 6th inning and doubled bringing in two baserunners in the 7th
inning. Kansas City kept the scorekeepers busy in the 6th inning with 6 runs
on 6 hits and the 7th inning when they had 6 runs on 5 hits. Kansas City had
a total of 20 hits for the game.
The victory went to Lemon(7-8) who went the distance allowing 5 runs. Johnny
Podres(3-5) ended up with the loss. He got hit pretty hard, allowing 19 hits
and 7 walks in 7 and 2/3 innings.
