Indians win pair as iron man era persists in AL action
The Indians swept a Kansas City doubleheader 4-2 and 2-1 as Rick Monday left with a foot injury after a foul tip. Earl Battey played through a collision with Boog Powell while the Twins split a twin bill, winning 4-0 then losing 9-5. Bill Skowron, 20 stitches, reopened his hand wound in the first Angels-Detroit twin bill where California won 2-0 and Detroit took 5-1. Battey and Powell collided in a rundown, Powell tagged out Battey, and Battey left for a pinch hitter. Four teams idle New York and Boston rained out.
