ByThis Day in Baseball

The Mets drop a pair to the visiting Colts .45s, 6 – 2 and 8 – 6, and also break the major-league record for homers allowed. Merritt Ranew and Dave Roberts connect for the Colts, the 188th and 189th homers allowed, breaking the A’s mark set in 1956. Bob Aspromonte of the Colts sets a National League record for a third baseman with his 57th straight errorless game.

At Washington’s new ball park, D.C. Stadium, Mickey Mantle clouts the first home run there, and adds another, both off Washington starter Tom Cheney, to pace New York to a 7 – 1 win. Mick has five RBIs. Ralph Terry picks up his 22nd win, the most by a Yankee right-hander since 1928. The Yankee win, combined with a Twins loss, leaves New York (90-63) in 1st place by four games.
