Duke Sims, who batted in the Indians' first three runs with a pair of homers, was hit by a pitch in the 13th inning and scored to beat the Yankees, 4-3. After reaching base, Sims stopped at third on a double by Larry Brown. Ray Fosse was handed an intentional pass to load the bases, but Jack Heidemann foiled the strategy with a single, scoring Sims.
