Boston took the lead off Tommy Bridges in the first inning as they scored 4 runs on 4 base hits. The early run support proved sufficient for Ostermueller and Boston.

St. Louis scored all of the necessary runs in the 7th inning when they exploded for 7 runs on 6 hits. The big moment was provided by Jack Burns who electrified Sportsman's Park when he brought the hometown folks to their feet with a Grand Slammer (his 9th of the season). New York had a chance to come back in the 9th but they came up short. The win went to Bill McAfee(3-2) who allowed 3 runs in 3 innings. Red Ruffing(9-6) ended up with the loss. He gave up 7 runs in 6 and 2/3 innings of work. 'Some losses are harder to take than others' Joe McCarthy lamented after the game. 'This was one of them.'

Philadelphia totaled 9 on the afternoon. Cain(10-8) picked up the complete game victory, allowing 1 run. Willis Hudlin(5-9) was given the loss. 'I felt great out there today' Foxx said.
