Five singles were all that the Indians managed to get off Jim Hardin in losing to the Orioles, 7-0. Chico Salmon alone almost equaled the Indians' hit total, rapping four singles for the Orioles. Salmon set up one run and scored two. Boog Powell accounted for two RBIs with a sacrifice fly and a single. [The Sporting News]
