Spiders Win Another One
Cleveland third baseman Kevin Mitchell made his presence felt in the 5-3 Spiders triumph over the New York Yankees. Mitchell went 2 for 4 with 2 home runs. He drove in 3 runs and scored twice. Bob Sebra was the winning pitcher. Over 6.1 innings, he allowed 3 runs on 6 hits, with 2 walks and 9 strikeouts. Earning his 8th save for Cleveland was Steve Karsay.

Mitchell had a big at-bat with a runner on 1st in the bottom of the sixth inning, when he hit a 2-run home run. The Spiders went on to win.

"As well as we've been playing, I think we can play even better," said Cleveland manager Wilson Ogle.

The Yankees, now 9-18, continue their poor start.
