Senators Beat Up on Athletics
April 27, 1950 (Thursday) - Philadelphia, PA
W/L record 6-5 (.545), 3rd place, 1.5 GB
The Washington Senators will leave town having knocked around the A's Thursday night by a score of 7-2. After pitching shutout baseball through seven innings, Philadelphia starter Joe Coleman (1-2) took a punishment in the late innings when the first place Senators (7-3) batted around the order scoring five runs in the eighth inning. Six earned runs on the night will balloon the right hander's ERA to 4.50 on the season.
Red hot Elmer Valo went two for two with a double and a solo home run in the fourth inning off Washington's winning pitcher, Sal Maglie (2-1). Valo leads the AL in batting with a stunning .488 average. Philadelphia shortstop Eddie Joost's early season slump continues with an 0 for 4 day at the plate and an error. His average has dropped to an anemic .098 on the year.
Philadelphia will head to Boston for a four game set this weekend against the slumping Red Sox who have lost their last eight games after starting the season 4-0. The A's hope to continue their success with the last place Sox. Philadelphia is 4-0 against the Beaneaters this season.
