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.'
