It is always difficult to win when your defense commits an error. It is especially so when the team commits 5 errors. The visiting St. Louis Browns (66-67) beat the hometown Boston Americans (78-55) by a 4 to 1 score. Despite a 3rd straight loss, the Americans maintain an 8-game lead in the American League race.

Picking up the win today was Hooks Wiltse (13-19), who allowed just 1 earned run on 6 hits, 1 walk, and 1 hit batsman; Game Score 74. Sam Leever (20-10) was tagged with the loss after permitting 4 runs (1 earned) on 6 hits in 8 innings of play; Game Score 63. Recently called up rookie Ralph Caldwell covered the final inning in scoreless fashion, allowing 1 hit while striking out 2.

The Browns' offense was generated by Charlie Babb (2 for 5, Triple, Run, RBI), Jimmy Barrett (2 for 4, RBI), and Patsy Donovan (1 for 5, Run, 2 RBIs). John Farrell (2 for 3, Triple, Run), Homer Smoot (1 for 1, Double), and Danny Shay (1 for 3, RBI, Sacrifice Fly) played well in the loss.
