New York Swats 3 Straight HRs Off Feller

Bob Feller may be slated as the Oakland Jacks ace, but he’s still searching for that elusive 1st win. That didn’t change as he allowed four New York Swats homers. Wade Boggs set the tone with a leadoff HR in the 1st, but it was in the 5th when the power was really on display, as Babe Ruth, Jimmie Foxx, and Ken Griffey Jr. hit back-to-back-to-back homers. Feller struck out Lou Boudreau to end the inning, but it was also the end of his night. Meanwhile, New York’s Hal Newhouser picked up his 1st win, allowing just 2 earned runs in 7 innings. New York turned 3 double-plays in the game. Both New York and Oakland now stand at 6-9 after the Swats’ 8-3 win.
