Mantle Launches Two Homers to Pad Lead
Jim Mantle powered two long drives to left and right field for Nos. 27 and 28 as the Yankees beat Detroit 41 though the game drew 47 758 fans at the stadium. Mantle moved into command of the home run pace with a 60th season tally in historical context. Ruth hit No. 27 much earlier in his career and Mantle homered right handed, with six of his 27 from the right side. Mantle started cold and went 0 for 2 before delivering the dramatic pair in the ninth that triggered fan chaos and a field invasion as park staff restored order.
