Brett Grand Slam Helps Jacks Top Swats

Oakland Jacks starter Bob Feller overcame some wildness and a 1st inning Babe Ruth homerun to top the New York Swats for just his 2nd win of the season. Feller allowed 3 runs on 7 hits, but walked 6 in 8 innings. George Brett’s 3rd inning grand slam off New York’s Bob Lemon would give the Jacks a lead that they wouldn’t give up. The 9-3 win is only Feller’s 2nd on the season, as Oakland improved to 16-19 with the win. The New York Swats fell to 15-21. Reggie Jackson was the only Oakland starter without a hit, as his slump continues.
