New York’s Hal Newhouser allowed back-to-back solo home runs to Manny Ramírez and Mark McGwire, but gave up just 7 hits total in 8 innings. Meanwhile, the Swats had just two baserunners against Detroit’s Frank Tanana until the 6th. Then, Eddie Collins walked to lead off the inning, and Harry Heilmann and Ken Griffey Jr. singled to load the bases. That’s when Yogi Berra took advantage of the short porch at the Polo Grounds for a Grand Slam to give the Swats a 4-2 lead that would stand until the end of the game. Satchel Paige pitched a scoreless 9th for his 4th save, improving New York’s record to 12-17. The loss dropped the Detroit Rockets to 15-14.
