June 10, 1950 (Saturday) - Philadelphia, PA
W/L record 26-27 (.491), T3rd place, 5.5 GB, Streak L1, Last10 5-5
What started out as a pitching duel between starters Lou Brissie and Early Wynn ended with the Indians on top, 5-2.
Lou Brissie left after one out in the 7th inning when Johnny Kucab came in for relief. Kucab has pitched well this season allowing only two earned runs in six games and 14 innings of work, but it was Bobby Avila's one out home run that gave Kucab (L,1-1) his first blown save on the year. Spotty defense for the A's also contributed to the four runs in the seventh which allowed the Indians some breathing room for the remainder of the game.
Cleveland's Early Wynn (W,8-3) went the distance picking up player of the game honors. He allowed two earned runs on six hits, walking two and striking out three.
The two teams face off Sunday for a double header.
