Porterfield Shines as Nats Hip Red Sox 1 -0; Brooklyn Sets New Mark With 1 0th Verdict in Ron .: By MILTON HICHMAN Uniled Press Sports Writer Eeasy-going Bob Porterfield, popularly known as "Porter house" around the Washington clubhouse, could be just the man who'll help the long-starved Sen ators to a rare slice of first divi sion money this year. The Senators haven't cut into the first division pot since 1946 but Manager Chuck Dressen says he thinks they'll do it this year, particularly "if Porter : field comes through for us." Porterfield came through like a charm Thursday when he struck out seven batters, bore down especially well in the pinches and pitched the Senators to a three-hit 1-0 triumph over the league-leading Boston Red Sox. Only one Boston runner, Faye Throneberry, got as far as third base but he was stranded there in the ninth inning as Bul let Bob retired Harry Agganis on a fly ball for the final out Porlerfield's Second Win The Senators broke through Tom Brewer, for the. only run. of the game and their first run in 20 consecutive innings in the ninth on a walk to Roy Sievers nlus back-to-back singles by Eddie Yost and Pete Runnels. The victory, Porterfield's second of the season, reversed a 1-0 Red Sox triumph of the night before and gave Washington a .500 mark for six games so far this vear George Kell and Mike Forniel- s combined talents to give the White Sox a 9-1 victory over the Tigers. Kell smashed a grand slam homer off loser Ned Garver in the third inning while For- nieles limited that Tigers to live hits. Detroit's lone run was a result of Al Kaline's sixth in ning home run. Chicago moved to within a game of paceetting Boston by winning. In the only other game sched uled in 'the American League, the New York Yankees crushed the Baltimore Orioles, 14-2. Bob Turley, acquired, from the Ori oles during the winter, haa thines all his own way as he struck out eight, gave up only five hits and was given a four run cushion in the first inning. Hank Bauer, smashed a homer for the Yankees leading off the first inning and Les Moss con nected for one for Baltimore in the ninth. Lou Kretlow, first of three Oriole hurlers, ' was charged with the loss, nadoers Win Tenth ' The Brooklyn Dodgers tram pled the Philadelphia Phillies, 14-4, thereby setting a modern major league record of 10 con secutive victories at the start of th season. Routing Robin Roberts with a seven-hun rally in. the seventh innine. the Dodgers erased the previous record of nine victories in a row at the outset held joint ly by themselves, the Giants and the St. Louis Browns, who did it last in 1944, the year they won their only pennant. Brooklyn hammered three Phillies' pitchers for 17 hits, in cluding home runs of Jackie Robinson, Duke Snider, Sandy Amoros and Don Zimmer, who also had two doubles and a sin gle. Russ Meyer started for the Dodgers but was relieved by Joe Black in the third. Black was the winner.
