SOME CLEAR PATTERNS EMERGING IN BOTH LEAGUES AS WE HEAD INTO THE HEART OF THE SEASON

HIGHLANDERS MAKE A RUN FOR IT IN THE AL

BEANEATERS LEADING THE NL FROM THE CUBS


Notable Performances
  • 1st: Detroit’s Doug Rau begins the new month well with a three-hit shutout in a 3-0 win over St. Louis. Washington’s Ernie Broglio also pitches a complete game shutout, allowing 5 hits in a 2-0 win over the Athletics.
  • 2nd: a slugfest between the Tigers and Browns sees the two sides combine for an astonishing 39 hits, with Detroit eventually getting home 11-10 in 12 innings.
  • 3rd: Cleveland 2B Tommy Harper goes yard twice and drives in 4 as the Naps scrape past the White Sox 7-6.
  • 8th: Eric Show 2-hits the Browns and strikes out 8 as the Americans win 2-0.
  • 9th: not a banner day for New York batters, as the Highlanders are shut out on 4 hits in a 3-0 loss to Cleveland and the Giants manage just 3 hits against Wayne Twitchell as they are whitewashed 7-0 by the Pirates.
  • 13th: 3B Eric Soderholm has 4 hits including a triple and a homer, and drives in 6 runs to lead the Highlanders to an 11-6 win over the Browns.
  • 15th: Cleveland scores 6 runs over the 8th and 9th in their game at Washington to take it into extra innings, then wins it in the 11th on a solo shot by CF Turkey Stearnes, his fourth hit of the game. They get another extra-inning win over the Sens two days later when they score 5 in the top 12th to win 8-4, with catcher Red Dooin going 5-for-5 with 4 ribbies and CF Willie Wilson also having a 5-hit game to make it 20 games in a row he’s hit safely.
  • 18th: Boston starter Carl Lundgren overcomes a spot of wildness that sees him walk 8 to pitch a 3-hit shutout and lead his side to a 3-0 win over Cinci.
  • 21st: the slumping White Sox snap a 6-game losing streak with a dramatic come-from-behind win over Boston in which they score 4 in the top 9th to record a 5-4 victory.
  • 24th: Bill Parsons two-hits the Cubs while fanning 5 as the Cards win 4-0.

  • 18th: a hamstring strain will keep Cardinals pitcher Ken Forsch on ice for about 6 weeks.
