Torrid Tribe Trio--These are the three Cleveland hitting stars (L-R), John Romano, Johnny Temple and Jim Piersall. They went into Sunday's double header with Los Angeles leading the American League 1-2-3 in hitting. Piersall raised his mark nine points to .356, but lost the top spot to Jackie Brandt of Baltimore (.379) who qualified for the minimum 100 at bats on which the leading hitters are based. Romano boosted his mark eight points to .346, while Temple dropped to sixth place with .324.
