Milt Gaston(4-12) suffered the loss. He was knocked around by Detroit, allowing 14 hits and 6 walks in 6 and 2/3 innings.

Jimmie Foxx had a big day with his bat. He tripled scoring a run in the 5th inning and popped a two-run clout over the fence (his 39th of the season) in the 8th inning. Philadelphia totaled 12 on the afternoon. Cain(11-8) lasted until the end allowing 4 runs for the win. The losing pitcher was Johnny Allen(4-2). He allowed Philadelphia 8 runs in 7 innings of work.

Cleveland took the lead off George Blaeholder in the first inning plating an isolated run using 2 hits. That was all the runs Pearson(13-7) needed. Cleveland finished with 10 hits in the victory. Blaeholder(7-12) was the loser. He was unable to control the Cleveland offense and allowed 9 hits and 2 walks in 6 innings. 'He was moving it around and spotting it very well.' Rogers Hornsby said. Pearson pitched a great game. He deserves all the credit.'
