Tigers rout Yankees as Martin blasts New York infield
Ex Yankee Billy Martin accused the Yankees and manager Jack Tighe of poor infield conditions after Detroit's 10-1 thrashing of Whitey Ford. The Tigers piled 12 hits off Ford, with Frank Lary pitching seven innings as New York slipped to a half game lead over Kansas City. The report cites a persistently thick infield grass and high turf as factors, while noting other NL and Dodger-related games and various homers and rallies across the circuit.
