Pitchers Sain and Jansen Flops of National League
Boston star Johnny Sain and New York Giants pitcher Larry Jansen were highlighted as two of the NL’s early-season flops. Sain is 0-2 after three starts, while Jansen has one loss despite support, with both teams posting poor results in recent outings. The Dodgers routed the Braves 5-2 at Ebbets Field as Preacher Roe won his first for Brooklyn. Hermanski started a triple play for the Dodgers, Robinson and Hodges combining on the relay. Jansen failed to pitch a complete game, lasting six innings in a 12-11 loss to Philadelphia in 11 innings. The Yankees beat Philadelphia 5-4 with Gerry Coleman homering, and Detroit swept Chicago in a doubleheader to climb to second. Cleveland’s Bob Lemon shut out St. Louis 1-0 as Lou Boudreau homered. Rain postponed Washington-Boston and Cincinnati-St Louis games.
