Indians Rally But Split Sends Them Out Of First
The Cleveland Indians split a twilight-night doubleheader with the St. Louis Browns, losing 8-4 then winning 26-3 to drop to second place in the American League pennant race behind the Philadelphia Athletics. Cleveland pounded 29 hits, four homers, and saw Gene Bearden, Larry Doby, Jim Hegan, and Walt Judnich homer. Pirates beat Cardinals on Westlake’s walk-off, moving Pittsburgh into the first division by a fraction. Braves win in Boston 2-1 on Spahn’s pitching and a late wild pitch. Other games rained out.
