TEAM RISP- Athletics: 2 for 9  Nationals: 0 for 8

Johnny Logan had 2 base hits and Mike Garcia had an impressive outing as the
Philadelphia-AL Athletics bested the league door-mat Washington Nationals 2
to 1 at Griffith Stadium.

Garcia(17-9) was indeed brilliant as he hand-cuffed the Washington offense.
He surrendered only 4 hits and 1 walk in 8 innings.  Both teams' bats went to
sleep after the 4th inning with no runs scored after that point.  

Tom Poholsky was credited with his 13th save.  Don Larsen(7-15) suffered the
loss.  He surrendered 2 runs and 8 hits in 8 innings.
