Gaylord Perry became the first 10-game winner in the major leagues this season and also hit his first A. L. homer as the Indians defeated the Twins, 7-1. The game was a memorable one for Jack Brohamer, Indians' rookie second baseman, who smashed the first two homers of his major league career. [The Sporting News]
