and said he could have made a
mistake in not sticking with the
southpaw.
Rudolph pitched himself out
Of trouble in all but the sixth
inning, but after he had given
up nine hits and four walks and
had hit a batter. Manager
Mickey Vernon called in Ben
ME Daniels when Don walked
the leadoff hitter in the eighth.
Don's pitching hasn't been
sensational, but in the three
games he failed to complete
he was better than his reliev-
ers. He turned over a Az lead
to Daniels, but Bennie's pitch
ing and thinking were not
sharp as he turned in his first
poor relief job in four calls
this week.
Rudolph went all the way
in winning his first game. He
left for a pinch-hitter in the
eighth inning Of his second
start with the score tied, 30,
and his reliever lost the game.
Don tossed away q 30 lead
last Saturday, and the Sena-
tors were still in the game when
he left. But relief pitchers lost
1t beyond recapture. He de-
served the victory last night.
His record still is IL.

nights game the better.
The first hit off Belinsky
was Harry Bright's two-run
single in the first inning. 1t
followed a walk to Chuck Cot
tier and an error that enabled
Jim Piersall to reach first. Cot
tier broke for third and was
in with a stolen base, and when
Bob Rodgers permitted Belin-
skis pitch to get through him,
PierSall made second on a
passed ball. Bright took second
on the throw to the plate, and
scored on Chuck Hinton's
single.
That was all the scoring for
the Senator's except for Bob
JohnSon's fourth home run
high off the wall in the An
gels bullpen in the sixth.
Ninth Inning Fatal
Billy Moran's double off the
wall in left near Hinton gave
the Angels two In the sixth.
After Rudolph walked Lee
Thomas In the eighth, Daniels
was called in. He walked Joe
Hoppe and the runners ad-
vanced on an infield out. AIbie
Pearson sent a grounder deep
to first and Bright tossed to
Daniels for the second out as
Thomas scored. And Bennie
kept running away from the
infield. Hoppe scored easily
from second to tie it up.

NOTES-Ryne Duren's fast
ball was too much for the Sem
ators in relief. He famed three
in two innings and shut the
door for his second victory.
For the second straight night
the game was delayed a half
hour by showers. Piersall

award before tonight,s game as
