Philadelphia came up with all the runs they needed in the 7th inning scoring 4 runners on 3 hits. The key at-bat was by Jimmie Foxx who brought a roar from the partisan Shibe Park fans when he hit a 'grand salami' to the delight of his teammates (his 41st of the season). Philadelphia finished with 9 hits in the victory. The winning pitcher was Cain(12-8) who allowed 3 runs for the game. Johnny Welch(9-4) absorbed the loss. It was a tough loss for him as he did not allow an earned run in his 7 innings of work. ST. LOUIS AT DETROIT Browns.......... 0 0 1 0 0 2 0 2 0 - 5 8 2 Tigers.......... 1 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 0 - 3 8 1 Win:Newsom(10-5) Loss:Bridges(10-13) Bruce Campbell had 3 base hits and Bobo Newsom pitched a complete game at Navin Field as the St. Louis Browns beat the Detroit Tigers 5 to 3. Detroit was unable to claim the lead after St. Louis went ahead in the 6th inning when they tallied 2 runs on 3 hits. The big moment was provided by Frank Grube who silenced the stadium when he doubled scoring two baserunners. Both teams totaled 8 on the afternoon. Newsom(10-5) was the winner allowing 3 runs for the game. Tommy Bridges(10-13) was tagged with the loss. He allowed 6 hits and 2 walks in 7 innings.
