Pirates And Tigers Lose Five In Row By MILTON RICHMAN United Press International Please, somebody, open up that starting gate so poor Pittsburgh and Detroit can get out. Here the season is only a week old and the Pirates and Tigers already have hit rock bottom with identical O-5 records. If they don’t get a move on soon, you can put a big black asterisk in front of both entries denoting “left at the post.” Pittsburgh and Detroit can console themselves by recalling the 1951 Giants lost 11 in a row during April and still came on to win the pennant. That isn’t much consolation, though. Not when the Pirates remember they dropped their first eight games of the season in 1955 and finished last or when the Tigers think back to how they also wound up in the basement after losing their first eight games in 1952. Cincinnati handed the Pirates their fifth straight loss, 16-5, Wednesday while unbeaten Cleveland stayed atop of the American League standings by dealing the Tigers their fifth consecutive setback, 2-1, in 10 innings. Held’s Homer Wins The Yankees remained close at Cleveland’s heels by beating Baltimore, 3-1, for their third straight triumph; the Athletics handed the White Sox their first loss of the campaign, 10-8, and the Red Sox beat the Senators, 7-3. In the National League, the Dodgers licked the Cardinals, 5-0, and the Giants made it four out of five by defeating the Cubs, 7-1. The first-place Braves were idle, as were the Phillies. Woodie Held’s third homer in two days powered the Indians to their fourth straight victory in their 10-inning struggle with Detroit. Held, who blasted a pair of homers on Tuesday, stroked the game-winning smash Wednesday off Ray Narleski with two out in the 10th. Cal McLish, a 16-game winner last year, picked up his first victory of the current season by going the distance and scattering nine hits. Little Bobby Richardson and southpaw Whitey Ford were the standouts in the Yankee triumph oyer the Orioles. Richardson lined a . two-run double off loser Jack Harshman* with two out in the nikth and Ford limited the Orioles to six hits in dealing them thfcir third straight loss. Rookie Pitcher Stars Until the ninth, the Yanks managed only three hits off starter Heft* Wilhelm and Harshman. Then with two out, Gil McDougald walked and moved to second on Andy Carey’s bloop single. Both scored on Richardson’s, line smash to left field. The loss was Harshman’s second of the season. Bob Grim’ grand-slam homer helped carry the A’s to their first victory of the year after three losses in a row although the White Sox almost pulled the game out with a seven-run rally in the eighth. Grim, credited with the victory,* belted his homer off loser Barry Latman and rookie Kent' Hadley hit a two-run homer for the A’s off Claude Raymond for what proved to be the winning margin in the fourth. Shortstop Joe DeMaestri of KC was hit over the left ear by a Latman pitch in the third immediately after Grim’s homer. X-rays showed no fracture although he was carried from the field on a stretcher. Rookie pitcher Jerry Casale was pretty much the whole show in. Boston’s win over Washington. The Brooklyn-born right-hander doled out seven hits and clouted a 450-foot homer far over the left field screen with two on off loser Russ ’Kemmerer in the sixth. Cepeda Homers Twice The Reds had to battle from behind twice to down the Pirates. Cincinnati clinched the outcome with a five-run rally in the sixth inning during which Vada Pinson hit his second homer of the season with two on. Jerry Lynch and Ed Bailey also homered for the Reds while Don Hoak connected for a three-run homer for Pittsburgh. Joe Nuxhall, aided by Bob Mabe’s scoreless three-inning relief stint, was the winner. Bob Friend gave up 11 of Cincinnati’s 16 hits in 5 1-3 innings and was charged with his second loss in as many tries. Don Drysdale of the Dodgers struck out seven and gave up

Loser Larry Jackson startled the crowd of 14,491 at Los Angeles Coliseum by striking out six of the first nine batters to face him, but the Dodgers put together four singles for two runs in the fourth. Don Demeter homered in the sixth and Jim Baxes in the seventh as the Cards suffered. their fourth loss in five games. Orlando Cepeda, “low-bridged” by Moe Drabowsky in the second inning, slammed a pair of homers off the Cub right-hander — one in the fourth and another in the fifth — to pace the Giants to their victory. Felipe Alou also homered for the Giants, raising his season total to three. - Southpaw Johnny Antonelli struck out six and yielded only five hits in gaining his second victory.
