Cleveland travels west to visit another city located on a Great Lake, this time the body of water is Michigan and the city is Chicago. The Sox lead the Junior Circuit with 11 wins while the Tribe looks to get out of their mediocre conundrum. A pair of righty’s aces fling it in this showdown!
Cleveland goes in order in the top of the first and the Chisox waste a single while putting up a goose egg. Top 2, Leon Wagner measured a Horlen offering driving into the seats in right. No sooner did Joel get a new ball than Fred Whitfield found the same section, perhaps a few rows further back making it 2-0. Bottom 2, Tommy McCraw lead off with a single and hit the afterburners to score on an Adair double. Martin singled to right to tie the game. Hansen drew a free pass. Horlen bunted and Whitfield tossed it into left field to fill the bases. Perhaps shaken, Siebert served up a bases clearing double to Ken Berry putting the home club up 5-2. Sunny managed to get the next 2 but Pete Ward singled to center, tacking on another. Bottom 4, the Sox left a pair on but broke out the whooping stick against Steve Bailey as Hansen smacked a two run blast. Bailey faired no better in the 6th, as he alternated outs with walks. With 2 on, Adair collected his second RBI with a single and another scored when Alvis boxed one around at third. The Pale Hose closed out the scoring as Ward collected his second Robby on a sac fly. Joe Horlen settled in nicely after the Whitfield bomb, retiring 21 of the last 22 he faced picking up his third duke.
Chicago won its 7th in a row, 11 of their last 12. Jerry Adair has hit in nine straight. The Six announced they have traded righthander Jack Lamabe to the NY Mets. Cleveland once again dropped be,ow .500. Along with botching a ball at third, Max Alvis saw his hitting streak end at 7 games.
