Chicago’s Early Wynn gets an early departure as he retires just two Yankees in the 1st inning. Then Mickey Mantle (30th) and Roger Maris (34th) belt back-to-back homers to send the vet to the showers. For Mantle, it is the 13th homer in his career off Wynn, his favorite target. New York wins, 6 – 2
