Yanks Triumph Over Indians In Close Series Opener
Rip Coleman, a 24 year old left handed rookie from Denver, earned his first big league start for the Yankees and delivered a 5-2 victory over Cleveland. New York moves to first place, one game ahead of the White Sox as the rest of the league saw Detroit, Boston, Kansas City and Brooklyn post wins while Cleveland fell two back. Coleman’s upbringing from the Yankees farm system and his earlier 12-6 win over Baltimore are noted as context for his big league debut.
