Bobby Avila had 4 hits and 3 RBI as the powerful Philadelphia-AL Athletics destroyed the Cleveland Indians by a score of 13 to 0 at Connie Mack Stadium. Avila had a good day at the plate. He stroked a one-base hit in the 3rd inning, delivered a base-hit resulting in a run in the 4th inning, cleared the fences for a two-run home run in the 5th inning and lined a single in the 7th inning. Philadelphia-AL bats were very productive in the 3rd inning when they had 7 runs on 7 hits. Cleveland was out-hit by Philadelphia-AL, 20 hits to 5. The win went to Lew Burdette(13-9) who allowed no runs in 6 innings. Billy Hoeft(3-9) was the loser. He was touched for 3 homeruns in his 8 innings of work.
