Transactions: N/A

 

Detroit 2 Chicago (AL) (H) 1

 

Charlie Gehringer swatted a solo homerun in the top of the first to give the Tigers a quick lead, then both teams scored a run in the seventh inning. Now armed with a 2-1 lead, Tommy Bridges (7-2, 2.89) went all the way to get the tough road win over Jack Knott (4-8, 3.82).

 

New York (AL) (H) 6 Washington 2

 

The Yankees build a 6-0 lead through the seventh thanks to a pair of two-run homeruns from Lou Gehrig (14) and Frankie Crosetti (4) in the third and seventh innings, respectively. Spud Chandler (12-2, 3.53) effectively shut down the "Washington Hit Machine", keeping them scoreless until there were two outs in the ninth inning.

 

Boston (AL) 13 Philadelphia (AL) (H) 1

 

The Red Sox scored four runs in the first, but it was their six-run sixth that put the game out of reach, Bill Harris (2-0, 1.00) got his second complete game in two starts. Jimmie Foxx smacked a solo homerun in the first (37) to get the scoring started, and then his two-run homerun (38, 117) in the ninth closed out the scoring for Boston.

 

Cleveland 5 St. Louis (AL) (H) 2 (GM 1)

 

Bob Feller

Unforced walks and a pair of errors helped the Indians build a 4-0 lead after the top of the second, and Bob Feller (10-9, 4.47) was able to go seven innings and pick up the Game One win, despite allowing eight walks to go along with his seven strikeouts. Howard Mills (5-6, 5.19) allowed five walks but was mostly let down by the Browns' defense behind him.

Cleveland 11 St. Louis (AL) (H) 6 (GM 2)

 

The Indians scored four runs in the first and fifth innings to support Earl Whitehill (5-6, 7.02), who went eight innings and got the Game Two win.

 

New York (NL) 1 Boston (NL) (H) 0

 

Dick Bartell two-out double in the top of the fourth brought home first baseman Sam Leslie with the game's only run as Bill Lohrman (5-0, 1.63) threw a two-hit shutout over the Bees in Boston.

 

Brooklyn (H) 3 Philadelphia (NL) 2

 

The Dodgers took a slender 2-1 lead into the ninth, but an E-9 on Goody Rosen opened the door and the Phillies were able to tie the score at 2-2. In the bottom of the ninth, the first two Dodgers batters reached base, and this was followed up by two infield pop-ups. Dolph Camilli then lined a a single to right to bring home Tuck Stainback with the game-winner. Vito Tamulis (10-6, 4.68) went all the way for the win.

 

Cincinnati (H) 3 Chicago (NL) 2 (10)

 

The third-place Cubs started the day one full game behind the second-place Reds, so both teams knew this three-game series would be a crucial one for both teams. Both teams squandered early scoring opportunities, but in the bottom of the eighth Frank McCormick singled home Wally Berger to put Cincinnati up 1-0. Ripper Collins tied the game up with a solo homerun (12) to lead off the top of the ninth, and then the Cubs took a 2-1 lead when Stan Hack singled home Joe Marty in the top of the tenth. McCormick singled home Dusty Cooke to tie the score at 2-2 in the bottom of the tenth, with McCormick advancing to second base on the throw, and Harry Craft wasted no time and singled home McCormick for the exciting game-winner.

 

Pittsburgh (H) 8 St. Louis (NL) 7

 

A dropped throw at home plate (E-2) led to the Cardinals scoring five runs in the top of the fourth, with all runs being unearned. The Cardinals appeared to have the game in hand, but the Pirates slowly crept back into it, and then a three-run eighth put them behind by the score of 7-6. In the bottom of the ninth, pinch-hitter Bill Brubaker slashed a two-out two-run single to give the Pirates the walk-off win.

Detroit 6 Chicago (AL) (H) 3

 

Both teams started off by scoring three runs in the first, then the Tigers added on two more run in the third to take a 5-3 lead. Both pitchers pitched strongly from there, with Elden Auker (3-13, 8.47) getting the win over Thornton Lee (8-11, 4.20).

 

New York (AL) (H) 10 Washington 4

 

Monte Pearson

A two-run single off the bat of Lou Gehrig in the first got the Yankees off to a fast start and they added on from there, allowing Monte Pearson (13-3, 4.41) to go all the way for the win. The Nationals finally scored with a four-run outburst in the top of the eighth, but New York was already up 8-0 at that point.

Note: Lou Gehrig had three RBI's in today's game, bringing his season total to 96. Joe DiMaggio has 94 RBI's, and Bill Dickey has 90, although Dickey hasn’t played in a week, likely due to an accumulation of nagging injuries.

 

Boston (AL) 6 Philadelphia (AL) (H) 3 (10)

 

Lou Finney hit a cycle earlier this season, and his homerun (11) in the second kept the score close at 3-2, and his triple in the ninth allowed the A's to tie the score at 3-3 and send the game into extra innings. The Red Sox broke through with three runs in the top of the tenth, and Jim Bagby (10-7, 3.68) was able to pick up the complete game victory.

 

Cleveland 13 St. Louis (AL) (H) 6 (Grand Slam!)

 

St. Louis shortstop Red Kress got the scoring started with a three-run homerun (9) in the bottom of the fourth, but then Cleveland left fielder Jeff Heath hit a three-run homerun (14) in the top of the fifth to knot the score at 3-3. Harlond Clift hit a two-run homerun (16) in the bottom of the sixth to give the Browns a 5-3 lead, but then in the top of the seventh, the Indians scored eight times, the big hit being a grand slam homerun (14) by Earl Averill. Averill came to bat for a second time in the inning with the bases loaded as well, but his fly ball to center was the third out.

 

New York (NL) 4 Boston (NL) (H) 2 (12)

 

The Giants scored two unearned runs in the top of the second, but by the end of the seventh, the Bees tied the score at 2-2. It stayed that way until New York finally strung together a few hits and scored twice in the top of the twelfth. Dick Errickson  (1-3, 3.44) got a spot start and pitched well but took the loss, with Dick Coffman (3-0, 1.96) picking up the win in relief.

 

Cincinnati (H) 6 Chicago (NL) 5

 

The Reds led 4-0 after the fourth inning, but the Cubs proceeded to score single runs in each of the next three innings to draw within one run. In the top of the ninth, Gabby Hartnett swatted a two-out two-run homerun (7) to give Chicago its first lead of the day at 5-4. In the bottom of the ninth, the Reds quickly tied the score, and Vance Page (0-2, 6.60) then threw a wild pitch to allow the winning score to come home. Johnny Vander Meer (15-2, 3.00) got the complete-game victory.

 

St. Louis (NL) 3 Pittsburgh (H) 2

 

A pitcher's duel with both teams held scoreless until the top of the seventh when Johnny Mize tripled (15) and then scored on an RBI single by Don Gutteridge. Mize came through again in the ninth when his two-run homerun (24) provided starter Lon Warneke (12-3, 2.72) a little padding to his slender lead. This came in handy when Gus Suhr (6) and Johnny Rizzo (18) hit back-to-back solo homeruns in the bottom of the ninth, but Warneke persevered and got the final out with no further damage.

Detroit 10 Chicago (AL) (H) 1

 

The Tigers put up a four-spot in the top of the fourth, the big hit being a two-run homerun (6) by Pete Fox. They did it again in the seventh, behind homeruns from Charlie Gehringer (19, 93) and Hank Greenberg (41, 134). Roxie Lawson (4-10, 7.30) had his best appearance of the season as he went all the way for the win.

 

Washington 4 New York (AL) (H) 3

 

Young Joe Krakauskas (2-1, 3.45) got the opportunity to make a start in Yankee Stadium, and he was able to go all the way for the complete-game victory. Krakauskas also singled home the final run of Washington's three-run fifth. The Yankees loaded the bases in the eighth and scored one run to make it close, but Krakauskas finished with a 1-2-3 ninth to end the game.

 

Boston (AL) 16 Philadelphia (AL) (H) 0

 

A ten-run fifth put the game well out of reach, and Lefty Grove (16-4, 2.03) got the shutout, albeit without his usual "stuff," limited by his ongoing arm injuries. Grove also stroked a two-run single in the fifth, but the big hit in the inning was a three-run homerun (39, 123) by Jimmie Foxx.

 

Cleveland 3 St. Louis (AL) (H) 2 (GM 1) (11)

 

Al Milnar

Lefty Al Milnar (2-1, 5.63) got a chance to start one today, and he went all the way for the Game One win. The Indians scored a run in the fourth, and Milnar kept the Browns off the board until they scored twice in the bottom of the seventh. Cleveland tied in the ninth, and the game moved into extra-innings. Second baseman Odell Hale singled home Lyn Lary in the eleventh with the game-winner, but only once Milnar shut down the Browns in the bottom of the inning.

Cleveland 12 St. Louis (AL) (H) 4 (GM 2)

 

Another strong outing from the bullpen as veteran Willis Hudlin (4-3, 7.53) kept the Browns in check and let his offense do the talking for the Game Two win. Cleveland led 6-2 after the fifth and then added three runs in the eighth and ninth innings to lock up the game. Hal Trosky went 5-for-5 (.403) with three runs scored, an RBI, a double, and a triple. Cleveland knows they have doubleheaders versus Chicago on both of the next two days, so giving the bullpen a rest was deemed necessary.

 

Chicago (NL) 9 Cincinnati (H) 4

 

Gabby Hartnett drove home three runs, including two in the Cubs' three-run fifth, and sparked the Cubs to a crucial road win. Clay Bryant (14-7, 2.54) went seven innings to get the win over Whitey Moore (2-1, 4.37).

The Indians put up a three-spot in both the fourth and sixth innings to take a 6-1 lead, but then the White Sox scored three times in the eighth to make it close at 6-4. Cleveland scored three runs in the top of the ninth to pad their lead, but then Chicago made it close when they scored three times in the bottom of the ninth. Mel Harder (9-7, 3.12) got the win in a game that was marked by sloppy fielding by both teams.

 

Cleveland 5 Chicago (AL) (H) 2 (GM 2)

 

Cleveland scored four runs in the top of the fifth, and Denny Galehouse (4-5, 6.13) rode that lead to a Game Two win. Chicago outhit Cleveland 9-6, but the Indians bunched their hits to make them count. Both starters went all the way to save their bullpens as these two teams will play two again tomorrow.

 

New York (AL) (H) 12 Philadelphia (AL) 6 (GM 1)

 

A Lou Gehrig three-run homerun (15, 100) in the bottom of the first put the Yankees up 3-0, but then a six-run second inning put the game out of reach and allowed Red Ruffing (15-4, 3.38) to go all the way for the Game One win.

 

New York (AL) (H) 2 Philadelphia (AL) 0 (GM 2)

 

An unexpected pitcher's duel as both teams went scoreless until the bottom of the eighth when Joe DiMaggio slugged a two-out two-run homerun (21). Bump Hadley (6-3, 5.72) successfully closed out the ninth to get the Game Two win over Buck Ross (8-7, 6.54).

 

Boston (AL) 5 Washington (H) 3

 

A two-run single by young third baseman Jim Tabor in the top of the sixth put the Red Sox up 4-1, and Jack Wilson (10-10, 3.34) and the Boston bullpen held on for the tough win. The Red Sox have now won eight games in a row, but just haven't been able to make up any ground on the first-place Yankees.

 

Boston (NL) (H) 4 Brooklyn 3

 

Goody Rosen

Dodgers right fielder Goody Rosen jumped on the first pitch of the game and swatted it for a homerun (4), giving Brooklyn a lead they would hold for most of the game. After the top of the seventh, Brooklyn was up 3-1, but Boston scored a run in the bottom of the inning to make the score 3-2. The Bees kept after it and scored two more runs in the bottom of the eighth to take a 4-3 lead, and Ira Hutchinson (2-4, 4.22) finished with a 1-2-3 ninth to pick up the win.

St. Louis (NL) 3 Cincinnati (H) 2

 

Don Padgett hit a two-out two-run pinch-hit triple in the top of the seventh to give the Cardinals their first lead of the game at 3-1, and the St. Louis bullpen fought their way through the final three innings to secure the win for Bill McGee (9-7, 2.99).

 

New York (NL) 4 Philadelphia (NL) (H) 3

 

The Phillies opted not to intentionally walk Mel Ott with runners on second and third and two outs in the top of the third, and Ott promptly swatted a three-run homerun (24) to give the Giants a lead they would not lose. Harry Gumbert (7-14, 4.35) gave up a two-run homerun (3) to Phil Weintraub in the bottom of the ninth and drew to within one, but was allowed to stay in and finish the game.

 

Chicago (NL) 4 Pittsburgh (H) 1

 

The Pirates scored first with a run in the second, but Big Bill Lee (16-7, 1.53) shut them down thereafter on three hits to get the complete-game victory. An error opened the door to the Cubs taking a 2-1 lead in the sixth, and then in the seventh Ripper Collins slammed a two-run homerun (14). The win here, combined with Cincinnati's loss, allowed the Cubs to gain ground on both of the teams in front of them.

Cleveland 7 Chicago (AL) (H) 3 (GM 1)

 

After taking two games in Chicago yesterday, Cleveland opened the day with a seven-game winning streak and, with two more games in Chicago, looked to continue their hot streak. A tight game with the score tied at 2-2 after the seventh inning, but then the Indians scored five times in the top of the ninth. Homeruns by Earl Averill (15) and Rollie Hemsley (3) got the scoring started in the ninth, but the big hit in the inning was a Bruce Campbell fly ball to center that somehow went over the head of Mike Kreevich, allowing two more runs to score.

 

Cleveland 8 Chicago (AL) (H) 4 (GM 2)

 

The Indians swept a doubleheader on consecutive days in Chicago, extending their winning streak to nine games. Similar to Game One, the Indians went ahead early, the White Sox scored a few to make it close, and then Cleveland added insurance runs in the top of the ninth. Johnny Allen (12-6, 4.85) went all the way for the win, with Thornton Lee (8-12, 4.40) taking the loss, despite hitting a homerun (3).

 

Philadelphia (AL) 16 New York (AL) (H) 10 (Grand Slam!)

 

Quite a game in the Bronx today. The lowly Athletics not only scored sixteen runs but had twenty-six hits and four walks as they were able to feast on New York pitching. Bob Johnson smacked a three-run homerun  (18) in the four-run fourth, and Sam Chapman added a grand slam homerun (11) in their six-run fifth. The Yankees' offense accumulated nine walks in the game to go with fourteen hits, but three double plays effectively choked the New York offense.

 

St. Louis (AL) (H) 5 Detroit 2

 

The Browns slowly built their lead, and Bill Cox (1-3, 8.93), making a spot start, was able to go all the way for the complete-game victory.

 

Boston (AL) 16 Washington (H) 2

 

Boston led 6-0 after the fourth, but then Washington finally got on the board with two in the bottom of the fifth. It was at this point that the Red Sox offense got hot and scored six runs in the top of the seventh, and then they added on four more in the top of the eighth. Player-manager Joe Cronin had the big day as he went 4-for-6 (.322) with two runs scored, four RBIs, and three doubles. Fritz Ostermueller (4-2, 2.32) went all the way for the win over Monte Weaver (5-9, 5.45).

 

Note: On this date in 1938, Washington pitcher released Wes Ferrell, who, despite struggling with shoulder problems, led the Nationals staff with a 13–8 record, despite a 5.92 ERA. Clark Griffith, who has had differences with Ferrell over money, said Wes wasn’t helping the club.  Brother Rick Ferrell remained with the club.

 

Boston (NL) (H) 7 Brooklyn 0 (GM 1)

 

Vince DiMaggio

Johnny Lanning (5-8, 6.07) threw a three-hit shutout to get the Game One win at home. Vince DiMaggio hit a three-run homerun (5) in the Bees' five-run fourth, and Lanning took over from there.

Boston (NL) (H) 3 Brooklyn 2 (10) (GM 2)

 

Boston first baseman Elbie Fletcher started off the bottom of the tenth by lining a single to center. The ball skipped off the glove of Kiki Cuyler and rolled all the way to the wall, and Fletcher was able to dash all the way home to get the win and doubleheader sweep.

 

New York (NL) 9 Philadelphia (NL) (H) 3 (GM 1)

 

A three-run homerun (25) by Mel Ott in the fifth gave the Giants a 3-1 lead, but it was a five-run seventh that locked the game up. First baseman Johnny McCarthy smacked a three-run homerun (3) in the seventh, all in support of Carl Hubbell (10-9, 3.91).

 

Philadelphia (NL) (H) 3 New York (NL) 0 (GM 2)

 

Newly acquired Max Butcher (3-5, 5.89) made his first appearance for the Phillies, and he throttled the Giants on four hits for the Game Two win and the doubleheader split. This win ended Philadelphia's six-game losing streak and put an end to New York's five-game winning streak.

 

Chicago (NL) 7 Pittsburgh (H) 0

 

Dizzy Dean (7-1, 2.12) held the Pirates to two hits and went all the way for the shutout victory over Cy Blanton (11-5, 2.35). Center fielder Carl Reynolds was the hitting star as he went 3-for-4 (.322) and hit a two-run homerun (3) in the first, and then added an RBI single in the fifth.

Cleveland 6 Chicago (AL) (H) 4

 

Cleveland has had quite a week. They now have a ten-game winning streak, they swept doubleheaders on consecutive days in Chicago, and have moved past Detroit into fourth place in the AL pennant race. Hal Trosky swatted a two-run homerun (13) in the seventh to put the Indians ahead for good. Earl Whitehill (6-6, 7.02) got the win and contributed two RBI's. Chicago's recent swoon has seen them fall into eighth place, just behind Philadelphia.

 

New York (AL) (H) 6 Philadelphia (AL) 5 (10) (GM 1)

 

Frankie Crosetti

The A's took a 2-1 lead into the ninth, and then things got weird. Philadelphia added two runs to take a 4-1 lead, but in the bottom of the inning, the Yankees stormed back with three runs to tie the score at 4-4. In the top of the tenth, the A's regained the lead at 5-4, only to see New York come back with two runs to get the Game One win. Joe DiMaggio drove home the winning run when his broken bat single just cleared the infield, enough to score Frankie Crosetti.

New York (AL) (H) 4 Philadelphia (AL) 3 (10) (GM 2)

 

Similar to Game One, the A's took an early lead, the Yankees mounted a comeback, but Philadelphia held them off, and they could only tie the game up. Then, New York won Game Two in extra-innings and collected their doubleheader sweep. Lou Gehrig singled home Tommy Henrich for the game-winner, and Monte Pearson (14-3, 4.30) got the win over George Caster (8-13, 4.82).

 

Detroit 8 St. Louis (AL) (H) 4 (GM 1)

 

The Tigers led 2-0 after the top of the fourth, but by the end of the fifth, it was the Browns with the lead, 4-2. Detroit then mixed in several hits, a few walks, and a key St. Louis error to score six runs in the top of the sixth, and Vern Kennedy (14-9, 5.93) was able to go all the way for the Game One win over Bobo Newsom (15-9, 4.28).

Washington (H) 5 Boston (AL) 1

 

Al Simmons doubled home a run in the second, and then in the fourth his two-run homerun (10) put the Nationals up 5-1. Harry Kelley (4-5, 5.07) only allowed one unearned run and went all the way for the win.

 

Brooklyn 6 Boston (NL) (H) 2 (GM 1)

 

The Bees took both ends of the doubleheader yesterday versus Brooklyn, but Brooklyn got Game One in today's twin bill with Freddie Fitzsimmons (11-5, 2.01) getting the win over Danny MacFayden (7-11, 2.27). The Dodgers scored four times in the fourth, but then Dolph Camilli's two-run homerun (19) in the fifth gave Fitzsimmons the insurance runs he was looking for.

 

Boston (NL) (H) 4 Brooklyn 1 (GM 2)

 

Boston starter Lou Fette (9-14, 3.24) held Brooklyn to three hits and got the Game Two win and the doubleheader split. Catcher Ray Mueller had three RBI's to lead the offense.

 

Cincinnati (H) 2 St. Louis (NL) 1 (GM 1)

 

A gutty performance by Paul Derringer (20-4, 2.00) as the Reds looked to hold on to second place in the NL. Cincinnati led 2-0 after the third, but then a solo homerun (24) by Johnny Mize made it close; however, the Cardinals could not do anything more against Derringer.

 

St. Louis (NL) 9 Cincinnati (H) 3 (GM 2)

 

The Cardinals led 3-2 going into the ninth inning in a taut game, but then, in an explosion of power (two triples), walks, and with an error thrown in there, St. Louis was able to score six runs to make it an easy Game Two win for Clyde Shoun (2-5, 4.79).

 

New York (NL) 12 Philadelphia (NL) (H) 4 (GM 1)

 

The Giants did not score in either of the first two innings, but they got on the scoreboard in each of the ensuing innings to build a more-than-sufficient lead for Hal Schumacher (12-6, 3.76) to get the Game One win. Jo-Jo Moore had a 5-for-5 (.344) day with five RBI's, and Schumacher checked in with a 4-for-4 day and scored four runs.

 

Philadelphia (NL) (H) 2 New York (NL) 1 (GM 2)

 

Pete Sivess

The Phillies scored two runs in the bottom of the first, and unheralded reliever Pete Sivess (3-10, 6.09) went all the way for the Game Two win. Sivess kept the Giants scoreless until the eighth when a two-out E-5 by third baseman Buck Jordan let a run in, but Sivess didn’t get flummoxed and was able to finish what he started.

Chicago (NL) 3 Pittsburgh 1

 

Gabby Hartnett got the Cubs a quick lead when he hit a two-run homerun (8) in the top of the second, and Charlie Root (3-3, 1.61) held the Pirates to only three hits in eight innings. Bill Lee came in to close out the ninth and did so with a 1-2-3 inning.
