Red Sox Hand Cleveland Third Straight Loss, 4-2 CLEVELAND, Ohio, June 9 UP.— The skidding Cleveland Indians, who now have given up 16 unearned runs in their past six games, today suffered their third defeat in a row to the Boston Red Sox, 4-2, handing the winners three gift tallies and making it easy for young Frank Sullivan to win his sixth game. Herb Score was the starter and was kayoed for the second time in three games. He went five innings and struck out nine men to give him a season total of 101. Two of the three runs he yielded were unearned, as was the final Boston run in the ninth. Boston, which won only two of 22 games from Cleveland in 1954, now has a 4-4 record thus far this season, with the fading American League champs. It was Clevelands sixth defeat in the last seven games.
