NEWSPAPER GAME STORIES FOR 1934 American League                Date: 8/15/1934







 

DETROIT AT NEW YORK Tigers.......... 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 - 1 5 1 Yankees......... 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 - 2 7 1 Win:Gomez(15-9) Loss:Hogsett(5-3) Homeruns- B.Ruth(15th) Lefty Gomez tossed a complete game at Yankee Stadium where the New York Yankees beat the Detroit Tigers 2 to 1. Gomez(15-9) contributed a very nicely pitched game. He didn't allow much, just 5 hits and 2 walks in 9 innings. New York finished with 7 hits in the victory. The losing pitcher was Chief Hogsett(5-3) in relief. He surrendered 3 hits and no walks in 1 inning. DETROIT AT NEW YORK Tigers.......... 0 1 0 0 0 3 0 0 0 - 4 10 0 Yankees......... 0 1 0 0 0 2 0 0 0 - 3 9 0 Win:Rowe(14-5) Loss:Ruffing(10-9) Homeruns- H.Greenberg(15th), L.Gehrig(35th) Schoolboy Rowe went the distance and Hank Greenberg hit one over the fence and had 4 RBI as the Detroit Tigers beat the New York Yankees by a score of 4 to 3. The New York fans didn't appreciate the big day Greenberg had. He doubled bringing in a run in the 2nd inning, belted a three-run homer (his 15th of the season) in the 6th inning and stroked a one-base hit in the 8th inning. Detroit had 10 hits for the afternoon. The victory was credited to Rowe(14-5) who went the distance, allowing 3 runs. Red Ruffing(10-9) was the loser. He surrendered 4 runs and 10 hits in 8 innings. The Detroit ballclub's record now stands at 60-50. New York will hope that this loss is only a 'blip' on their recent 8-2 run - and not a start of a new trend. ST. LOUIS AT BOSTON Browns.......... 1 0 0 1 2 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 - 7 18 3 Red Sox......... 2 0 0 0 0 1 0 2 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 - 6 13 1 Win:Andrews(4-7) Loss:Welch(9-6) First baseman Jack Burns had 5 hits and scored 3 times at Fenway Park where the St. Louis Browns beat the Boston Red Sox in 16 innings by the score of 7 to 6. The score was knotted at 5 after nine innings. St. Louis came out the victor in the 16th inning. Burns banged out a single. A balk was called. Roy Pepper then delivered a base-hit scoring the run. A wild and woolly affair, this game saw the lead change 5 times. Ivy Andrews(4-7) picked up the victory, allowing no runs in 4 and 1/3 innings. Johnny Welch(9-6) suffered the loss in relief. He allowed 1 run and 5 hits in 4 and 1/3 innings. CLEVELAND AT WASHINGTON Indians......... 0 1 0 1 0 1 0 0 0 - 3 11 1 Nationals....... 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 1 0 - 2 9 0 Win:Harder(12-4) Loss:Stewart(3-12) Mel Harder allowed Walter Johnson to rest his bullpen, tossing a complete game and catcher Frankie Pytlak had 2 base hits and 2 RBI as the Cleveland Indians outscored the Washington Nationals 3 to 2. Harder(12-4) pitched well for Cleveland in their victory. He surrendered 9 hits and 3 walks in 9 innings. Washington threatened in the 9th but Cleveland was able to put down the rally. Lefty Stewart(3-12) was given the loss. He got hit hard, allowing 10 hits and 4 walks in 7 innings. 'Just one or two mistakes were all it took to beat us today' Joe Cronin said. 'We take these games one day at a time, but this one was hard to take.'

The score was knotted at 3 after nine innings. Chicago ended up winning it in the 11th inning. After an out was recorded, Herman tripled.

Burleigh Grimes(0-1) was the loser. 'Some losses are harder to take than others' Pie Traynor lamented after the game. 'This was one of them.'
