The Tribe keeps up a fine offensive run but loses, 10 – 7, to Baltimore. Three more Cleveland home runs set a since-topped American League record for most home runs (26) over eight straight games. They also go in the record books with nine straight games with two or more homers.

The Orioles sign veteran Robin Roberts, released by the Yankees on April 30th. Roberts will win 42 games for Baltimore before going to Houston.
