Enjoying their biggest offensive outburst of the season, the Indians piled up 22 hits and started the scoring with nine runs in the first inning en route to a 13-1 trouncing of the White Sox. The Indians sent 13 men to bat in their big inning and collected nine hits, including a leadoff homer by Oscar Gamble and another circuit clout by Walt Williams with two men on base. The White Sox managed only four hits off Dick Tidrow and scored their run in the eighth on a walk, a passed ball and single by Pat Kelly. [The Sporting News]
