CWS 10-13-2 DET 3-7-3 Sox scored 5 in the 6th to chase Jim Bunning and coasted from there. Early Wynn pitched 7/1-3 strong innings to get the win, and contributed with his bat, going 3-3 with 3 RBI. Al Kaline provided most of the Tiger offense with a 2-run homer off Wynn in the 8th. The loss was the first for Detroit this season after 4 wins.

WSH 8-14- 2 CLE 6-12-1 Pete Daley's 2-run single provided Washington with the eventual winning runs in the 7th as they stunned the Indians for their 4th win in 6 games. 6 different Senator hitters collected 2 hits in the victory, with Willie Tasby producing a 2-run triple in the 3rd. The Indians have dropped 4 of their first 5 games. 

MIN 5-11-1 BAL 2-10-0 GM1: Lenny Green and Jim Lemon collected 3 hits each as the Twins took the opening game of a doubleheader in Baltimore. Lemon homered in the 3rd, while Green added an insurance run to round out the game 1 scoring. Jim Kaat went the distance for Minny.

MIN 3-8-1 BAL 1-7-1 GM2 (10): Harmon Killebrew's 2-run homer off Hoyt Wilhelm in the top of the 10th gave the Twins the comeback victory and the doubleheader sweep. The Twins rallied with 2 outs in the top of the 9th on singles by Reno Bertoia and Billy Gardner, followed by a pinch-hit single by Don Mincher to tie the score. Lenny Green's lead-off triple in the top of the 10th set up Killebrew's clutch clout. Green had 6 hits in the twin bill.

NYY 21-18-1 KCA 4-10-6 GM1: Elston Howard paced an 18-hit attack in game 1 with 3 hits and 6 RBI, including a grand slam and a solo homer in the game 1 victory. Ralph Terry pitched 7 strong innings to earn the victory, highlighted by a 13-batter, 8-run 1st inning.

NYY 7-14-2 KCA 6-11-0 GM2: Mickey Mantle capped a furious 9th inning rally with an RBI double off Bill Kunkel to earn the DH sweep. Yogi Berra's 2-run double off Kunkel set up Mantle's game-ending hit, capping a rally from a 6-run deficit that gave Whitey Ford an early shower. 

LAA 4-5-1 BOS 5-7-1 GM1: Don Buddin's 2-run double in the 6th supplied the go-ahead runs as the Bosox took the first of 2 from the Halos. The Angels got home runs from Julio Becquer and Leon Wagner, but Mike Forneieles' strong right arm saved it for winning pitcher Billy Muffett.

LAA 3-5-0 BOS 5-7-0 GM2: Vic Wertz's 3-run 1st inning homer held up as Bill Monbouquette shut down the winless Angels to sweep the twin bill and run up the Bosox's record to 5-0. Monbo helped his own cause with an RBI double in the 3rd inning. Eli Grba walked himself out of this one, walking 7 in 2-1/3 innings.

1973: LCS Game 3's

ALCS: Merv Rettenmund got things started for the Orioles with a lead-off homer off the HR check, but Ken Holtzman would keep the Birdmen of Baltimore in check the rest of the game as the A's went to the longball and the smallball to take a 2-1 series lead. The A's tied it in the bottom of the 1st on Sal Bando's round trip. The small ball came via Bert Campaneris, who drew a 1-out walk in the bottom of the 5th and stole 2nd. Joe Rudi chased him home with a 2-bagger, giving the A's a lead they would not give up. Reggie Jackson, Gene Tenace and Deron Johnson saw to that in the bottom of the 8th, chasing Mike Cuellar from the game with back-to-back-to-back home runs. Jackson's homer came with Sal Bando on base. Final: Oakland 6, Baltimore 1.
