Naps Must Think Faster to Stick With Leaders
Special to Tha Washington Post. In Cleveland May 20 the Naps seem cheated of the gray matter expected in top teams. In the second inning errors and wild throws eroded their chances as Turner, muffed at second, mishandled Ryan’s bid. Moiser’s drive and weaker defense left the club trailing and scrambling for a path back to the front.
