First baseman Walt Dropo smacked 2 homeruns and had 3 RBI at Yankee Stadium as

the Boston Red Sox beat the New York Yankees by the count of 7 to 3.

 

Dropo was a seemingly constant irritant to the hometown fans as he provided

much of the offense for the visitors.  He cracked a two-run shot in the 1st

inning, delivered a solo blast (his 35th of the season) in the 3rd inning,

banged out a single in the 7th inning and delivered a one-base hit in the 9th

inning.  Although they lost, New York did out-hit Boston 11 to 8.  

 

Joe Dobson(16-8) allowed 3 runs in 7 and 2/3 innings, and picked up the

victory. The losing pitcher was Tommy Byrne(15-7).  He allowed 3 homeruns in

3 innings of work.
