He clubbed a three-run home run (his 15th of the season) in the 1st inning, lined a base-hit in the 4th inning, stroked a single in the 6th inning and laced a base-knock in the 8th inning. For the game Cleveland out-hit Boston 12 to 7. Oral Hildebrand(8-7) went 7 and 2/3 innings allowing 2 runs for the victory. Wes Ferrell(7-3) ended up with the loss.

Saltzgaver enjoyed a big day at the plate. He ripped a solo home run (his 2nd of the season) in the 1st inning, slapped a base-hit in the 4th inning, smacked a single in the 6th inning and tripled in the 7th inning. New York managed 15 in their victory. Gomez(12-7) lasted until the end allowing 7 runs for the win. The losing pitcher was Les Tietje(3-8). By surrending 9 runs in 5 innings his ERA jumped from 4.14 to 4.47. New York now has a record of 43-41. With the loss, Chicago has a record of 4-6 lately, 29-58, worst in the league overall.

Dick Coffman(3-7) was the winning pitcher with a solid relief performance. He gave up just 2 hits and no walks in 2 innings. Washington threatened in the 9th but St. Louis was able to put down the rally. Bobby Burke(5-4) was the loser. He pitched 8 innings allowing 8 hits and 2 walks. 'We won because we did the little things right.' Rogers Hornsby said after the game. 'This is why we practice things over and over and over, so when we get in close games we don't make mistakes.'
