In a bizarre game at Yankee Stadium, New York knocks Cleveland starter
Early
Wynn out of the box and takes a 7-0 lead after one inning, only to be held
hitless the rest of the way and watch the Indians rally for an 8-7 victory
in 10 innings. Larry Doby's three-run homer in the third inning helps the
Tribe claw their was back. With the Yankees leading 7-6 in the ninth,
Bobby
Avila homers to tie the score, and one inning later Al Smith homers to win
it. It's a clear indication that Cleveland is a stern challenger to the
five-time defending world champion Yankees' reign and at season's end,
Cleveland will dethrone the Bombers with an AL record 111 victories (since
broken).
