Surprising everyone, Bill Gogolewski, who is a poor hitting pitcher, rapped his first major league double with the bases loaded in the second inning to produce the Senators' runs in a 3-2 victory over the Indians. Three walks preceded Gogolewski's double off Vince Colbert, who was the loser on a three-hit effort. [The Sporting News]
