Embarrassed Twice Robinson On Rampage In Doubleheader
Frank Robinson of the Baltimore Orioles endured humiliation in a Sunday twin bill as Cleveland swept the Orioles 82 and 83. Robinson was picked off in the fourth inning of the first game and later hit the first ever fly ball out of Memorial Stadium, a 451 foot shot that landed beyond the left field bleachers. He rebounded to go 5-for-7 on the day, slug two homers, a triple and a single, scoring four and driving in three as Baltimore moved into a tie for the American League lead with a 15-4 mark, while Robinson led with a .406 average.
