George Brunet hit a three-run homer and Ed Stroud drove in three more runs with a double as the Senators ended a nine-game losing streak by defeating the Indians, 7-3. After Brunet's blow in the second inning, the Indians came back to tie the score. A single by Hank Allen and walks to Del Unser and Ed Brinkman set the stage for Stroud's double in the sixth. Stroud then scored the Nats' final run on a single by Lee Maye. [The Sporting News]
