Kiner Rips 2 Homers in 7-6 Win
The New York Yankees topped the Chicago White Sox by a score of 7-6. Leading the way was left fielder Ralph Kiner. Kiner hit 2 home runs, while scoring 3 times and driving in 4 for the Yankees. Dutch Leonard picked up the win with 9 innings of work. He allowed 6 runs on 10 hits, while walking 5 and striking out 2. On the season, he is now 4-3. With the win, New York elevates its record to 17-12.

New York shortstop Dick Culler contributed a timely at-bat in the top of the fifth. With two down, he hit a curveball to center field for a run-scoring single. It was his 23rd hit of the season and put the Yankees ahead, 6-4.

"It wasn't a pretty victory," said Culler, "but we got it done."
