Bobby Avila hit for the cycle and had 4 RBI and Bob Lemon completed the game
without help from the bullpen at Griffith Stadium as the Cleveland Indians
beat the Washington Senators 11 to 4.
Avila provided much of the offense. He tripled in the 2nd inning, doubled in
the 6th inning, lined a base-hit scoring two baserunners in the 7th inning
and cleared the fences for a two-run home run in the 9th inning.
Offensively, Cleveland was a juggernaut. They scored in 6 separate innings.
The win went to Lemon(5-4) who allowed 4 runs in the game. Bob Kuzava(4-4) was
hit with the loss. He surrendered 7 runs in 6 and 2/3 innings and saw his
ERA increase from 4.62 to 4.94.
'I was in my hotel room the other night, working on my swing and made some
adjustments,' Avila said. 'I'm always working on it. If they are getting you
out certain ways, you've got to make changes.'
