KANSAS CITY (38-61) @ NEW YORK (35-60)
STARTING PITCHERS
7X (10-8 3.05) 8Z (6-6 2.92)
A day of rain delayed his 4 game set a day and when the ump shouted “PLAY BALL” a pitchers duel unfolded until the bottom of the sixth when, Jim Nash himself set it to unravel by committing an error. A walk, two singled and a sac fly and the Yanks had all they needed to snag the opener. Fritz Peterson and two relievers shut down the A’s
