With one out in the top of the 10th Francona hit a fly off Hoyt Wilhelm to right - center which Brand caught up with which Brandt caught up witn cona on third, Willie Kirk- land was intentionally walk ed. Wilhelm then threw i wild pitch to Johnny Romano and Francona scored. It was the Indians' second unearned run of the game. Baltimore had tied the score at 3-3 in the eighth inning when pinch - hitter Whitcy Herzog hit a bases-empty home run with two out. It was Ramos' last inning and his third trip to the club house during the game. He was sent there after the fifth and seventh innings by home plate umpire Ed Runge to change various articles of his uniform. Runge found some of the baseballs Ramos threw were too sticky. After Cleveland took a 1-0 lead in the fourth inning on Francona's double and Woodie Held's single, Runge sent Ra mos to the club house to change his shirt when he came out to pitch the fifth.
