Dimmel allowed a two-out double to Joe Widmer that scored Dobens and a single to Red Brown that drove in Widmer and made the score Washington 5 Cleveland 3.
Max Green took over in the 9th and struck out two of the three batters he faced to earn his 4th save.
Donnelly, who made the error, and Tom Hanyzewski both hit their first career home runs in the second inning.
Both were recently recall to add more punch to the lineup. neither is known as a glove man. Donnelly because of limited range and Hanyzewski because or an arm injury to his throwing arm is a converted shortstop who will be playing mostly first base.

Catcher Danny Murphy opened the inning with a single just out of the reach of Cleveland second baseman Tom lemon.
Good defense by Cleveland almost got them out of the inning.
First center fielder Joe Widmer robbed Donnelly of a possible extra base hit with an outstanding running catch deep in right center.
Daryl Boucher doubled sending Murray plate-ward with the possible winning run only to be thrown out by a perfect throw from right fielder Bret Hanley.
