Indians Clobber Yankees Lift Lead in Pennant Race
The Cleveland Indians swept a Sunday doubleheader from the New York Yankees to extend their lead in the American League pennant race. Dick Donovan and Barry Latman won the opener 6-1, and Pedro Ramos and Gary Bell secured the 6-3 nightcap as Cleveland pushed their edge to two games over Minnesota. The crowd of 70,918 marked the season’s largest in Cleveland, with the three-day total surpassing 141,000. Donovan earned his 10th win, though he left with a strained thigh, while Mantle belted a three-run homer in the nightcap for New York. The Indians head into a four-game set with Boston after an idle day.
