WEB GEMS- Bot 3rd: Bobby Avila robbed Early Wynn of a base hit.

Right fielder Monte Irvin blasted 2 homeruns and had 5 RBI as the Pittsburgh
Pirates smashed the overmatched Philadelphia-AL Athletics, 17 to 5.

Irvin enjoyed a great day at the plate.  He belted a three-run homer in the
3rd inning and cleared the fences for a two-run home run in the 6th inning.
Pittsburgh provided plenty of action in the 3rd inning which saw them score 5
runs on 6 hits and the 6th inning with 5 runs on 6 hits.  Pittsburgh simply
wore out the Philadelphia-AL pitching staff, scoring in 6 different innings.

Early Wynn(10-6) was the winner allowing 4 runs in 6 innings. Johnny
Antonelli(3-11) was given the loss.  He allowed 11 hits and 2 walks in 3
innings.
