Rosen Homers Twice In Indians 6-3 Victory
By UNITED PRESS
There was a new warning signal for pitchers in the American league today—"Rosen is risin."
Slugger Al of the Indians, last year's "most valuable player," in fact was ahead of his 1953 pace in all departments. He has eight home runs to lead the league, his 36 runs batted in also top the circuit, and he is second only to teammate Bobby Avila in batting with a lusty .374 mark. Avila has .379.
Rosen, who even was "promoted" two notches in the field from third base to first this year, outshone the mighty Ted Williams in a 6-3 victory for the first place Indians over the Red Sox, their sixth in a row. Rosen crashed two homers, driving in three runs. Williams got a single and drove in a run. Cleveland came from behind with two runs in the sixth to go in front for good, Rosen tving the score with his second homer after which a walk to Larry Doby, an infield out, and George Strickland's single produced another run. Reliever Bob Chakales pitched 5-2/3 scoreless innings for his second victory.
After Gene Woodling's two-run homer in the eighth tied the score, Yogi Berra drove in the winning run with a single in the ninth as the second place Yankees kept pace with a 4-3 victory at Chicago. Steven Gromek became the first major leaguer to win seven games, pitching the Tigers to a six-hit 8-3 victory over Philadelphia while Washington downed Baltimore 3-1 on Mickey McDermott's five hitter.
In the National league, only two games separated seventh - place Chicago from the deadlocked leaders, Brooklyn and Philadelphia, both defeated last night.
The Cubs pounded out 13 hits to beat Brooklyn, 7-1, on Warren Hacker's four-hitter while Johnny Logan's two-run triple in a four-run sixth produced the winning tally in six 2-6 Milwaukee victory over Philly. The Cardinals moved into a virtual first place tie on nine games in the postseason victory over the Giants, while Cincinnati hung in close with a 6-5 win over Pittsburgh achieved on Gus Bell's two-run triumph.
Relief pitcher Johnny Sain, who hasn't yielded a run this year, pitched two scoreless innings in the Yankee triumph. Ferris Fain hit a homer for Chicago. Walks to Willie Miranda and Irv Noren preceded Berra's winning hit.
Gromek, who now has defeated every club but the Yankees, handed the A's their 11th defeat in 12 games, striking out seven. Frank Bolling hit a two-run Detroit homer as the Tigers made 14 hits. Roy Boone collected three.
Mickey Vernon hit a two - run triple to provide Mickey McDermott with his victory margin off Bob Turley, the Baltimore Bullet, who struck out six in defeat, McDermott was touched for five singles and also struck out six.
Hacker gave up no walks and put only five runners on base in his win at Brooklyn. Chicago sewed it up with five hits good for four runs off Billy Loes in the first inning. Hank Sauer had the big blow, a two-run single.
Gran Hamner, in defeat, got three hits to take over the National league batting lead at 378 as Chet Nichols won his third game for Milwaukee after losing three in a row.
Bell paced the Reds all the way in addition to his key triple, adding a double and single as Cincy put on a five-run third inning.
The Cardinals flashed a five-run second inning, collecting 11 hits in their drubbing of the Giants.
