Orioles take crucial series as they beat Yankees three to one
Baltimore manager Hank Bauer shuffled lineups and used bullpen arms to win the crucial four game set against New York. The Orioles overturned a deficit in the Saturday game with Earl Robinson contributing five hits across three games, while Wally Bunker sat and young relievers Dave Vineyard and Frank Bertaina starred in relief. The Yankees, hampered by Whitey Ford’s earlier absence and ineffective bullpen, lost the opener despite Downing’s four hit effort and saw Powell’s 29th homer in the nightcap. In other AL action, Washington, Boston, Cleveland, Detroit and other clubs posted varied results while the National League saw Pittsburgh, Philadelphia, Houston, San Francisco and Milwaukee win on the day.
