DIAMOND DUST VOL 1952 NO 2

Things are close at the top in both divisions. The Giants lead the NL by one game over the Dodgers and in the AL the Indians and Yankees are in a dead heat.

After six weeks of play Eddie Robinson of the White Sox increased his BA to .367 while Robin Roberts of the Braves lowered his ERA to 1.68. Larry Doby of the Indians and Yogi Berra of the Yankees are tied for the home run lead with 11 apiece. Robinson leads in five offensive categories (hits, BA, OBP, total bases, and HBP) while Doby (RBI & slugging, with a tie in HR) and Jackie Robinson of the Dodgers leads in two (walks and stolen bases). Jim Hearn of the Giants and Mike Garcia of the Indians lead all pitchers with 5 wins.

One item of note, Stu Miller of the Yankees, since converting to a starter just two weeks ago, has tossed two shutouts and extended his scoreless innings streak to 23.

Week 7 games (all 4 game series):

White Sox @ Cardinals
Indians @ Braves
