Mike Goliat launched 2 homeruns and had 6 RBI as the Philadelphia Phillies
outscored the New York Giants 9 to 5.
 
Goliat provided much of the offense. He lifted one out of the park for a two
run home run in the 5th inning, smashed a bases-empty 'big-fly' (his 3rd of
the season) in the 7th inning and doubled clearing all three ducks off the
pond. in the 8th inning.  New York made it exciting in the 9th, but they were
unable to push the needed runs across.  
 
Ken Heintzelman(1-1) was the winner allowing 5 runs in 8 and 1/3 innings.
Heintzelman got help from Jim Konstanty who was credited with his 5th save.
Larry Jansen(3-1) was given the loss.  His ERA increased from 1.66 to 2.60 as
he allowed 6 runs in 7 innings.  
 
Leo Durocher was in a sour mood after the game.  'Even you guys up in the
press box know why we lost this game. We made too many mistakes.'



Indians Whip A's 8-2

Steve Gromek had a strong outing at Municipal Stadium where the Cleveland Indians beat the Philadelphia Athletics by the score of 8 to 2. Gromek(1-1) was in control of the game from the outset.

Luke Easter had 4 hits and 5 RBI and Bob Feller pitched a complete game as the
Cleveland Indians man-handled the Philadelphia Athletics - the final score
was 22 to 3.
 
It was a good day for Cleveland thanks to Easter.  He lined a single which
scored a run in the 1st inning, ripped a base-knock which plated a run in the
2nd inning, hit a one-base hit in the 4th inning and lofted a three-run bomb
(his 5th of the season) in the 6th inning.  Cleveland lit up the scoreboard
in the 2nd inning with 7 runs on 5 hits and the 4th inning when they had 7
runs on 5 hits.  Cleveland rapped out 21 hits for the night.  
 
The victory went to Feller(3-3) who went the distance allowing 3 runs. Dick
Fowler(0-2) suffered the loss.  He pitched 1 and 1/3 innings allowing 7 hits
and 4 walks.
