NOTES: Roy White has announced his presence with authority, going 4-10 with 3 RBI and 3 SB adding the much needed dimension of speed to the Bombers lineup. The Cleveland pitchers wanted no part of Mickey Mantle, giving the Yankee legend 5 free passes, now having 69 to lead the Junior Circuit. The sweep of the two game set gave the Yanks a measure of revenge after the Indians took them to the woodshed last week. Sam McDowell tied George Brunet fir the dubious honor of most losses.

STAR OF THE GAME: 3-6 3RBI 2SB
