NEWSPAPER GAME STORIES FOR 1961 American League Date: 5/5/1961

BALTIMORE AT LOS ANGELES
Orioles......... 0 0 2 0 0 0 0 0 0 - 2 5 0
Angels.......... 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 - 0 2 0
Win:Pappas(3-0) Loss:McBride(0-3) Save:Wilhelm(3rd)

Brooks Robinson had 2 base hits as the Baltimore Orioles defeated the Los
Angeles Angels by the score of 2 to 0 at Wrigley Field.

Baltimore tallied 2 runs in the top of the 3rd inning. That early run support
was enough for Milt Pappas(3-0) and Baltimore. The pitchers took over after
the 3rd inning as neither team was able to score again.

Pappas was helped out by Hoyt Wilhelm who recorded his 3rd save. The losing
pitcher was Ken McBride(0-3). He surrendered 5 hits and 2 walks in 8
innings.

DETROIT AT WASHINGTON
Tigers.......... 2 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 - 3 7 1
Senators........ 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 - 2 5 0
Win:Mossi(3-1) Loss:Daniels(1-2)
Homeruns- M.Keough(3rd), H.Bright(1st)

Don Mossi allowed Bob Scheffing to rest his bullpen, tossing a complete game
as the Detroit Tigers outscored the Washington Senators 3 to 2.

The deciding run was scored by Detroit in the top of the 8th. Rocky Colavito
drew a walk. One out later, Steve Boros came to the plate and laid down a
sacrifice bunt. Dick Brown then delivered a one-base hit scoring the run.
Washington had a chance to come back in the 9th but they came up short.

The win was credited to Mossi(3-1) who went the whole way allowing 2 runs. The
loss was charged to Bennie Daniels(1-2). He allowed 3 runs and 7 hits in 8
innings.

'Mossi just dominated us' losing pitcher Daniels said. 'Hopefully we can get
to him the next time around'

NEW YORK AT MINNESOTA
Yankees......... 0 1 1 2 2 0 1 0 1 - 8 11 1
Twins........... 4 0 0 3 1 0 2 0 - 10 14 1
Win:Sadowski(2-1) Loss:Ford(1-3) Save:Moore(2nd)
Homeruns- M.Mantle(6th), E.Howard-2(3rd), B.Allison-2(2nd)

Right fielder Bob Allison rocketed 2 homeruns and had 4 RBI at Metropolitan
Stadium as the Minnesota Twins beat the New York Yankees 10 to 8.

Allison had a big day at the plate. He belted a three-run homer in the 1st
inning and smashed a solo-shot out of the park (his 2nd of the season) in the
5th inning. Due to a poorly pitched ballgame, scoring in 6 different innings
was still not enough for New York to come away with the victory.

Ted Sadowski(2-1) was the winner allowing no runs in 2/3 of an inning. Ray
Moore earned his 2nd save. Whitey Ford(1-3) was tagged with the loss. He
was knocked around by Minnesota, allowing 7 hits and 3 walks in 3 and 2/3
innings.
