BOSTON (87-49) @ MINNESOTA (46-91) game 2
STARTING PITCHERS
4Y (1-0 2.00) 3W (0-2 7.88)
Poor Dick Nold never had a chance against the potent Bosox lineup, even the juggled game 2 order. 7 Sox had multiple hit games (19 Boston safety’s in all) and 5 drove in runs totaling 10. All in support of Jerry Stephenson’s seven workmanlike innings and a couple of seldom used lefty’s finished up. The Nats avoided the doubleheader whitewash when they nicked Stephenson for a rally in his last inning of work.

NOTES: Interesting that with 19 hits, only one by the Sox was for extra basss, Yastrzemski homer. He is now 8 behind Roger Maris to all time single season leader. Carl has 25 games to accomplish the feat. Only member of the Hub to go hitless was catcher Mike Ryan. Even pitcher Jerry Stephenson had two safety’s.
