Before 50,556 fans in New York, the Yankees sweep two from the Tigers, winning 7 – 6 and 6 – 2. In the opener, Ryne Duren fans Charlie Maxwell with the bases loaded and two outs in the 9th. Detroit is ahead, 2 – 1, in the night cap when Norm Cash argues at length about a call at first base, and finally gets tossed. When play resumes, Pete Burnside serves up a 3-run homer to Mickey Mantle, batting righty. The Yankees are 23-5 since June 5th and lead the American League by three games.
