Eddie Yost left the yard at Briggs Stadium where the Detroit Tigers beat the
Boston Red Sox in 10 innings by the score of 6 to 4.
 
The score was tied at 3 after nine.  Detroit won the hard fought contest in
the 10th inning.  After an out was recorded, Gus Zernial keyed the rally when
he drew a walk.  Rocky Bridges followed and he laced a one-base hit.  After
another out, Red Wilson then smacked a three-run homer resulting in a mighty
exciting win for Detroit and the 21,325 home town fans in attendance.
Detroit had 11 hits for the night while Boston had 7.  
 
The victory was credited to Tom Morgan(3-3) who went 1 inning, allowing 1 run.
Leo Kiely(1-2) was the loser in relief.  Detroit now has a record of a league
leading 42-24.  With the loss, Boston has a record of 3-7 lately, 29-35
overall.

1959 AL Game: Det. @ Was.

 June 21, 1959

  After Jim Bunning set a season strikeout record during a pitching duel in the first game of a doubleheader, the Detroit Tigers set the season high for most runs in a game this year by beating the Washington Senators 21-4 in the 2nd game. 

  Detroit scored 5 runs in the 1st inning and they were off and running. Their 24 hits set another high for most hits in a game this year. Every player in the Tigers lineup contributed to the beating on the Senators pitching. Charlie Maxwell hit his AL leading 23rd homerun and his 5 RBI gave him a league leading 68 on the season. Detroit hit 2 grand-slams in the game. One by Maxwell in the 1st and one by Ted Lepcio in the 9th, his 1st homerun of the year.

 June 21, 1959

Jim Bunning retired 14 batters on strikeouts as the Detroit Tigers defeated
the Washington Senators 2 to 1 at Griffith Stadium.
 
Bunning(9-5) was indeed brilliant as he hand-cuffed the Washington offense.
He gave up just 5 hits and 1 walk in 9 innings improving his ERA from 3.59 to
3.39.  Detroit had only 3 hits for the game.  
 
Camilo Pascual(8-4) was the loser.  'He came out with good stuff,' Jimmy Dykes
said about Bunning. 'He threw the ball good from the first pitch on.'

1959 NL Game: Mil. @ SF

 June 21. 1959

  Everyone was expecting a close, low scoring game today when the top 2 teams in the NL squared off with 2 of the top pitchers in the league on the hill. The Milwaukee Braves Warren Spahn (12-1) and the San Francisco Giants Johnny Antonelli (10-4) both gave up a run in the 1st inning before the wheels fell off for Spahn.

 5 runs crossed the plate in the 3rd inning for the Giants, and Spahn's day was over. The Braves pitchers that followed had little luck against the Giants who pounded them mercisly and SF walked off with an 18-3 victory. The 18 runs scored were the most in a game by any team in the NL this season. Willie Mays had a 5 for 6 day which included his 16th homer of the season. The Giants pounded out 22 hits in the game and allowed them to salvage a Win in the last of a 3 game series against the 1st place Braves.

Willie Mays had 5 hits and 2 RBI and Johnny Antonelli had a complete game at
Seals Stadium as the San Francisco Giants belted the Milwaukee Braves by the
count of 18 to 3.
 
Mays made sure the San Francisco fans enjoyed themselves. He hit a bases-empty
home run in the 1st inning, doubled plating a run in the 3rd inning, lashed a
single in the 4th inning, laced a base-hit in the 6th inning and laced a
one-base hit in the 7th inning.  San Francisco bats were hot in the 3rd
inning with 5 runs on 5 hits and the 7th inning which saw them score 7 runs
on 6 hits.  San Francisco banged out 22 hits on the afternoon.
 
Antonelli(11-4), allowing 3 runs for the game, picked up the victory. The loss
was charged to Warren Spahn(12-2).  He was not very effective, surrendering 6
runs in 2 and 2/3 innings.

Early Wynn pitched a complete game and right fielder Jim Rivera hit 2 doubles
and had 2 RBI as the Chicago White Sox defeated the Boston Red Sox by the
score of 8 to 4 at Fenway Park.
 
Chicago had 3 runs cross the plate in the top of the 4th inning with the help
of 4 hits.  The big moment was provided by Billy Goodman who quieted the home
crowd when he doubled bringing in two baserunners.  Chicago totaled 14 hits
on the afternoon.  
 
Wynn(10-4) allowed 4 runs on the game. Tom Brewer(6-6) was the loser.  He got
hit pretty hard, allowing 12 hits and 6 walks in 6 and 2/3 innings.  
 
Wth the win Chicago now has a record of 32-30.  Still in a bad slump, with
this loss, Boston is 2-8 lately and 28-33 on the year.

1959 NL Standings and League Leaders

 June 15, 1959

  It's halfway through the month of June in the NL. The Milwaukee Braves are still in 1st place and are pulling away from the pack. The Brave's pitching has been outstanding and their hitting has been very good. Warren Spahn is 12-0 and Hank Aaron (.335, 20, 52) continues to make a bid for the Triple Crown. St. Louis Cardinal 3rd baseman, Ken Boyer (.332, 18, 49), is making a bid himself. Boyer's teammate Joe Cunningham is hitting .348, tied with Cincinnati's Gus Bell for best BA in the NL.

   The San Francisco Giants are in 2nd place, 8 games back and the Cincinnati Reds are 8.5 back. The Giants have been getting a combination of good pitching and hitting. The Reds have the highest scoring offense in the league but their pitching has been mediocre. After the top 3 teams, every other team is below .500. LA's Don Drysdale is the only other pitcher with double digit Wins (10). He's also tops in Strikeouts with 92. Milwaukee's Bob Buhl has the top ERA (2.07).
