New York fans certainly got their money's worth at Yankee Stadium.  Art
Ditmar(16-7) pitched a rare no-hitter as the New York Yankees toppled the
Kansas City Athletics 18 to 0.
 
Ditmar had an evening to remember.  Heck, it's one we'll all remember! What a
game at Yankee Stadium! He surrendered no walks and could have tossed a
perfect game if it were not for the fielding error.  The tension started to
build around the 6th inning.  By the 9th inning the crowd was electrified.
New York bats were hot in the 4th inning with 4 runs on 5 hits, the 6th
inning which saw them score 4 runs on 4 hits and the 7th inning which saw
them plate 4 runs on 3 hits.  New York dominated offensively as they scored
in 6 different innings.  
 
Johnny Kucks(8-9) was the losing pitcher.  New York scored big getting 10 runs
off him in 5 and 2/3 innings.  'Ditmar was simply incredible' losing pitcher
Kucks said.  'I hate to admit this but I'd pay to watch a man pitch like
that'

Paul Foytack took a no-hitter into the 8th inning as the Detroit Tigers
defeated the Washington Senators by the score of 1 to 0 at Briggs

Foytack(14-10) was simply too much for the Washington batters.  He surrendered
only 1 hit and 2 walks in 9 innings.  The right-handed Foytack had his no-hit
bid broken up by Ken Aspromonte who singled with nobody out in the 8th
inning.  Detroit had only 4 hits for the night.  
 
Pedro Ramos(10-17) absorbed the loss.  He pitched 8 innings and surrendered
just 4 hits and 1 walk. 'All of my pitches were working tonight,' Foytack
said.  'I felt really good out there, and heck, I think I could have gone
longer.'

 June 21, 1959

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

crowd when he doubled bringing in two baserunners.  Chicago totaled 14 hits
on the afternoon.

Charlie Maxwell had 4 hits and 8 RBI at Fenway Park as the Detroit Tigers beat
the Boston Red Sox by the count of 10 to 4.
 
Maxwell was in a groove all day.  The Boston fans hated to see him approaching
the batter's box.  He doubled which was good for two runs in the 1st inning,
blasted a two-run home run in the 5th inning, doubled plating three runs in
the 6th inning and smacked a single which plated a run in the 8th inning.
Detroit had 14 hits for the game and Boston had 8.  
 
Jim Bunning(5-2) was the winner allowing 1 run in 7 innings. Frank
Sullivan(3-1) took the loss.  He was unable to control the Detroit offense
and allowed 9 hits and 2 walks in 5 innings.  
 
Maxwell was jubilant after the game 'Let me see a box-score' he joked, 'I want
to see how that game looks on paper.'

homeruns at Briggs Stadium as the Detroit Tigers beat the Boston Red Sox 9 to

Maxwell enjoyed a great day at the plate.  Every time he came up in the latter
innings, the crowd was on their feet cheering.  He clubbed a two-run home run
in the 1st inning, blasted a solo shot in the 6th inning and emptied the
bases with a Grand Slam homerun in the 7th inning.  Detroit managed 9 hits in
their victory.  
 
Lary(3-2) was credited with the shutout. The loss was charged to Ike
Delock(0-4).  He gave up 5 runs and 5 hits in 6 innings.  
 
'I was in my hotel room the other night, working on my swing and made some
adjustments,' Maxwell said. 'I'm always working on it. If they are getting
you out certain ways, you've got to make changes.'

Detroit exploded for 9 runs in the 7th inning to put this game out of reach for the Orioles. Kaline had 2 hits in the 7th, 1 which was a Grand Slam homerun.

Al Kaline had 4 hits as the Detroit Tigers ballclub embarrassed the reeling
Baltimore Orioles by the count of 13 to 2.

two runs in the 1st inning, stroked a one-base hit in the 5th inning, ripped
a base-hit in the 7th inning and launched a rocket-shot out of the park for a
Grand Slam homerun in the 7th inning.  Detroit finished with 18 hits while
Baltimore ended up with 7.  
 
Frank Lary(2-1) went 7 and 2/3 innings allowing 2 runs for the win. Arnie
Portocarrero(0-2) ended up with the loss.  He got hit pretty hard, allowing
10 hits and 2 walks in 5 and 2/3 innings.  
 
Wth the win Detroit now has a record of 8-6.  With the loss, the Baltimore
ballclub's record is 5-10, worst in the league.
