Undefeated since being recalled from the minors, Steve Hargan won his fifth straight game, pitching the Indians to a 6-1 victory over the Yankees. Vada Pinson hit a two-run homer and Larry Brown batted in two runs with a bases-loaded single to back Hargan, who turned in his fourth complete game in five starts since returning from Wichita (American Association) July 17. Horace Clarke collected three of the Yanks' seven hits. [The Sporting News]
