Baltimore Trims A's as Zuverink Persists in Shutout Symmetry
The Orioles defeat the Kansas City Athletics 9 to 5 behind reliever George Zuverink who closed out the game after Jim Wilson exited in the seventh. The A's offense had briefly surged with a three run seventh, but Zuverink retired the final batters in order. The Cardinals fell 7 to 5 at Ebbets Field as Don Blasingame booted two errors in a fourth inning rally that put Brooklyn ahead. Rip Repulski and Gil Hodges sparked the Dodgers’ early surge, while Lou Boudreau’s crew slipped toward the cellar. Fred Hutchinson’s Braves lost to Philadelphia, delaying the pennant chase.
