Swats starter Nolan Ryan took a 2-hit shutout into the 7th before Tony Oliva and Frank Thomas hit run-scoring doubles to give Boston a 3-1 lead. But with Palmer gassed in the 8th, the Splinters turned to Red Ruffing, who allowed singles to Wade Boggs and Lou Boudreau before Babe Ruth hit a bases-clearing double to retake the lead for New York. Ruth had struck out in his 3 prior at-bats. Swats closer Satchel Paige allowed one run in the 9th, but Boston stranded Ted Williams, the tying run, on 2nd with one out to give the Swats the 5-4 win. Boston has lost 3 straight to fall to 17-13, just one game in front of Detroit in the American League. New York is now 13-18. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/baseballmaelstrom.com\/?sp_event=621\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">Boston @ New York &#8211; 5\/6\/22<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Coming off of a start that didn&#8217;t see him record an out in the 1st inning, Boston Splinters starter Jim Palmer returned to form against the New York Swats, allowing just 6 hits and 2 runs in 7 innings.
