Trucks(8-3) was indeed brilliant as he hand-cuffed the Washington offense. He surrendered only 3 hits and 1 walk in 9 innings. Trucks racked up 10 strikeouts lowering his ERA to 3.31. New York-AL rapped out 8 hits for the afternoon. Murry Dickson(12-16) was charged with the loss. 'I had my good stuff today.' Trucks said. 'As the game went along I started to get the feeling that I was going to strike out a bunch of hitters.'
