Stanley’s grand slam lifts Tigers in split with Yankees
Detroit’s Mickey Stanley belted his third home run of the season a grand slam in the nightcap helping the Tigers to a 6-1 victory after a 4-3 loss in the opener. John Hiller fanned six as Detroit split the doubleheader with New York. The Yanks overcame an earlier deficit to take the opener, but Detroit moved three games ahead of Baltimore in the American League. The crowd of 49,952 at Cleveland watched Om Bryan and Joe Azellie spark Washington’s 7-run eighth inning in the nightcap while the Orioles beat Boston in a rain-shortened affair.
