Joe Pepitone drove in six runs including a grand slam to lead the New York Yankees to a 7-2 win over Minnesota. Dave Johnson hit a grand slam for Baltimore in a 7-1 victory while Buddy Bradford paid a price in Eddie Stanky's wakeup campaign as Chicago fell 1-0 to Cleveland. Also: Detroit edged Boston 5-4 and Washington beat Oakland 3-1. Pepitone's slam came in the first inning, followed by a triple after a Whitey pair walked. Mel Stottlemyre earned the win as Killebrew and Oliva homered for Minnesota. Orioles added early runs with Curt Morton and Jim Hardin handling the mound. Bradford's baserunning miscue triggered Stanky's fines.
