STARTING PITCHERS
7YW (7-15 4.09) 9YZ (5-12 4.20)
Yanks jumped all over Camilio Pascual, plating three while batting around. The Senators didn’t quit, scratching back to even on the back of Cap Peterson and Kenny McMullen. But Mgr. Gil Hodges trusted his veteran righthander too much, ultimately leaving him in one batter too long as pinch hitter Steve Whitaker took him deep proving the winning cushion for the Bronx Bombers.

NOTES: Steve Whitaker regained the team lead in RBIs over the Mick. Tom Tresh has a modest 6 game hit streak and Bill Robinson has a 5 gamer. Bill Monbouquette came to Steve Barber’s rescue, hurling 4 shutout innings in preserving the win. The only hit belonged to Mike Epstein who tripled but foolishly tried to score on a medium fly to right, gunned down by Roy White.
