Guardians Sneak Past Yankees, 3-2
The 3-hit performance of Joe Gordon, who won the Most Valuable Player Award in 1942, helped the Cleveland Guardians beat the New York Yankees, 3-2. The win has Cleveland at 5-8.

The game was at a stalemate until pitcher Mickey Harris came to bat in the top of the eighth. Facing New York pitcher Earl Johnson, he hit a 2-2 curveball for a run-scoring single. It was a game-changer, putting Cleveland on top, 3-2.

Harris said his team "played with determination."
