Yankees Finally Win But Fail to Hit Home Runs
Yogi Berra tasted victory as a manager for the first time but he's still waiting to see the vaunted New York power.
After dropping three consecutive extra inning contests, the American League champions picked up their first win by downing the Baltimore Orioles, 5-3, in a rain-delayed game. But Berra is still haunted by the thought that his Yankees are the only major league team without a home run this season.
The new skipper had to wait out a one hour and 15 minute shower that stalled the New York win and inflicted the initial defeat upon Baltimore. Berra is still visualizing the day the dormant Yankee bats explode and his team begins to score with the consistency inherent in the Yankee tradition.
WHEN THE RAINS came the Yankees had a 2-0 lead after a walk, Joe Pepitone's double (his first safety after an 0-14 start) and a single to Clete Boyer off starter and loser Milt Pappas, who did not return when the rain due to a stiff shoulder.
Pepitone, Roger Maris and Bobby Richardson had two hits each in the nine-hit Yankee attack. Bud Daley hurled only one inning last year because of an arm injury,
went the first five innings and got the victory. Steve Hamilton pitched the final four frames.
In other American League action, Minnesota thumped Detroit, 12-3, in the first game of a doubleheader, but the Tigers won the nightcap, 3-1; Chicago blanked Boston, 6-0; Kansas City stopped Washington, 5-1; and Los Angeles at Cleveland was rained out.
In the National League, Milwaukee nipped Los Angeles, 3-2, in 12 innings, for the Dodgers fifth straight setback; San Francisco pounded Cincinnati, 13-6; the Mets blanked Pittsburgh, 6-0; Philadelphia stopped Chicago, 8-1; and St. Louis defeated Houston, 6-1.
American League home run king Harmon Killebrew conected twice in the Twins' first-game triumph. Rich Rollins and Don Mincher added seven more hits to the Minnesota 18-hit total. Camilo Pascual went all the way for his first victory of the year but was plagued by an old malady, the gopher ball. All three Tiger runs were the result of homers by Don McAuliffe, Don Wert and George Thomas, the latter in a pinch-hitting role.
THOMAS STARTED the second game and knocked in two runs with another home run and a sacrifice fly. Dave Wickersham, ac-
