It’s the gateway game as after this Detroit will escape to their next destination, hoping for a split of the twin bill. Baltimore hopes to build some momentum as the world champs have circled the .500 mark all season

Nothing doing for the visitors to start the game. O’s rally with 2 outs, Frank Robby singled, Brooks got hit by pitch and Blefary walked but yesterdays Star Epstein lined out to first. Bottom 2, Sparma could not wriggle off the hook, Hrld walked and two outs later, scored from second on an Aparicio double. Russ Snyder promptly singled him home bumping the lead to 2-0. Palmer was in vintage form through 5, the Bengals managing only one single. Bottom 6, McAuliffe singled with one out, Wert followed with a safety and Gates Brown walked filling the sacks. Kaline doubled over the head of Snyder in center to tie the game and with runners on second and third, Northrup delivered a two run single. Bottom 6, the Birds looked to get that all back. Two singles and a walk loaded the bases and brought out the hook for Sparma. Mayo Smith chalked in seldom used Bill Monboquette. Monbo induced two short flies to lead the bases jammed. Detroit added to their lead in the 8th, Brown walked again and scored on Kalibe’s second double. Dutifully, Northrup singled him home making it 6-2. Dave Wicketsham came back out for a second inning of work, narrowly escaping a bases full problem the previous inning. Snyder singled leading off the 8th, one out later Brooks drew a walk. Blefary then blasted one out to right making this a contest again. Detroit wasted a double in the top of the 9th, leaving it to Fred Gladding to protect a one run lead. Freddie had mgr Smith gulping the pepto Bismal, giving up a pair of singles before inducing three harmless flux balls to end the game

Kaline leads the league with 8 doubles and 15 RBIs. Jim Northrup drove home 4 in the twin bill. Louie Aparicio had quite the series going 10-20. After a big first game replacing Powell, Epstein whiffed four times going 0-5.
