BoSox Win 4th Straight; Beat Yankees 7-2Rhodes Keeps Bronx Bombers Grounded
New York (AL) 2 8 3
Boston (AL) 7 10 0
New York dropped a second game to the Red Sox at Fenway Park, with poor fielding playing a prominent role. In the fifth inning, the Sox put runners on base, but Lefty Gomez appeared to have slipped the noose as Reynolds hit what looked like the third out to Tony Lazzari at third base. Lazzari charged the ball, but had trouble picking it up. To compensate, he threw wildly to first, and Lou Gehrig couldn't keep the ball from sailing into the stands, scoring two runs. Two more scored when Moose Salters doubled down the left field line. While Gomez took his second loss, he only allowed a single earned run in his 6 innings pitched. At the same time, Gordon Rhodes (pictured) (1-1) pitched a solid game for Boston. He surrendered 7 hits and 5 walks in 7 and 2/3 innings lowering his ERA from 4.26 to 3.21. Boston had a total of 10 hits for the game.
