Reds edge Bees 3 2 in opener of 12 game stand
Gene Thompson pitched three hits for the Cincinnati Reds who beat the Boston Bees 3 to 2 in the first game of a 12 game home stand. A second inning protest over a strike call by umpire Bill Stewart led to a short delay and a Bees rally as Ernie Lombardi doubled after a sequence. From Cincinnati, Lombardi and McCormick produced RBIs while Thompson held Boston to two runs.
