CINCINNATI AT PITTSBURGH Reds............ 0 0 4 0 0 0 0 0 1 - 5 8 2 Pirates......... 2 1 0 0 0 0 2 2 - 7 10 0 Win:Lucas(5-5) Loss:Kleinhans(2-3) Save:Meine(1st) Homeruns- P.Waner(6th) Paul Waner cracked a homer and had 3 RBI at Forbes Field where the Pittsburgh Pirates beat the Cincinnati Reds 7 to 5. Cincinnati never recovered after Pittsburgh took the lead in the 7th inning when they scored 2 runs on 2 hits. Cincinnati made it exciting in the 9th, but they were unable to push the needed runs across. Red Lucas(5-5) was the winner allowing 5 runs in 8 and 1/3 innings. Lucas got relief help from Heinie Meine who gained credit for his 1st save. Ted Kleinhans(2-3) was tagged with the loss. By giving up 7 runs in 7 and 2/3 innings his ERA increased from 3.98 to 4.46. 'We won because we did the little things right.' Pie Traynor said after the game. 'This is why we practice things over and over and over, so when we get in close games we don't make mistakes.' ST. LOUIS AT CHICAGO Cardinals....... 0 1 0 0 2 0 0 2 0 - 5 7 3 Cubs............ 4 0 1 0 3 0 0 0 - 8 10 1 Win:Bush(7-4) Loss:Hallahan(5-5) Homeruns- J.Rothrock(5th), J.Medwick(7th), R.Collins(19th), K.Cuyler(7th), C.Grimm(1st) Guy Bush allowed Charlie Grimm to rest his bullpen, tossing a complete game as the Chicago Cubs beat the St. Louis Cardinals by a score of 8 to 5.

The game was won by Boston with a run in the bottom of the 9th inning. After two were out Buck Jordan drew a walk. Bill Urbanski next to the plate and he drew a walk. Marty McManus then doubled resulting in a mighty exciting win for Boston and the 1,682 home town fans in attendance. Boston and New York each finished the afternoon with 6 hits. Ed Brandt(5-9) went 2 innings allowing no runs for the win. Roy Parmelee(1-1) was the losing pitcher. He pitched 8 and 2/3 innings giving up 6 hits and 7 walks.

July 3rd, 1934 - AL Player of the Week - Lefty Grove

AL Player of the Week

Lefty Grove

Robert Moses "Lefty" Grove (HA 2) doesn't figure much in our replay as 1934 was his only real "off" year. He was, however, the greatest pitcher of the 1930s and of all time. He pitched for the Philadelphia A's from 1925 through 1933. After the 1933 season, his contract was sold by a financially strapped Connie Mack to the flush Red Sox, recently purchased by the wealthy Tom Yawkey.

After being purchased by the Red Sox, however, Grove arrived at spring training in bad shape. According to his Boston teammate Bill Werber, he had a bad left shoulder that left him unable to pitch. Grove packed his bags and prepared to leave camp, when he was intercepted by Boston's travelling secretary, Phil Troy, who talked him into getting a physical. After a thorough examination, Grove was discovered to have impacted, infected wisdom teeth. They were removed and the pain subsided, but it would take a year before Grove was back to his old form.

With the exception of his first season, the 1934 season, and his final season, Grove was absolutely dominant. Overall, his career ERA (3.06) was substantially lower than the league ERA during that period (4.53), he won 341 games, lost 141 and earned 55 saves. In nine of his 17 seasons, he led the league in ERA. From 1925 through 1938, he was in the top 10 in strikeouts per 9 innings. From 1925 through 1930 he finished first, except 1928 when he was second. He frequently lead the league in strikeouts to walks as well.

He was inducted into the Hall of Fame in 1947.

DETROIT AT CLEVELAND Tigers.......... 0 0 0 1 0 6 0 0 0 - 7 12 0 Indians......... 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 - 0 5 1 Win:Bridges(8-7) Loss:Brown(3-7) Tommy Bridges blanked Cleveland in a very well-pitched complete game at League Park where the Detroit Tigers beat the Cleveland Indians 7 to 0. Bridges(8-7) contributed a very nicely pitched game. He didn't allow much, just 5 hits and 5 walks in 9 innings lowering his ERA to 3.30. Detroit banged out 12 on the afternoon. Lloyd Brown(3-7) was the loser. He was touched for 9 hits and 4 walks in 5 and 1/3 innings. DETROIT AT CLEVELAND Tigers.......... 0 1 0 1 1 2 0 0 0 - 5 13 2 Indians......... 0 1 0 0 0 0 2 0 0 - 3 6 1 Win:Auker(7-3) Loss:Weiland(7-5) Elden Auker allowed Mickey Cochrane to rest his bullpen, tossing a complete game at League Park as the Detroit Tigers beat the Cleveland Indians by the count of 5 to 3. Cleveland never recovered after Detroit took the lead in the 4th inning plating an isolated run on 3 hits. Detroit managed 13 in their victory. Auker(7-3) got the victory, allowing 3 runs for the game. Bob Weiland(7-5) suffered the loss. He allowed a few too many baserunners giving up 13 hits and 5 walks in 9 innings. BOSTON AT NEW YORK Red Sox......... 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 - 1 5 2 Yankees......... 3 2 0 0 0 0 0 1 - 6 8 0 Win:Gomez(9-7) Loss:Ostermueller(2-8) Lefty Gomez tossed a complete game as the New York Yankees topped the Boston Red Sox by a score of 6 to 1 at Yankee Stadium. New York drew first blood jumping out to an early lead in the first inning when they scored 3 runs on 4 hits. That early scoring was all that Gomez(9-7) needed. New York rapped out 8 hits for the afternoon. Fritz Ostermueller(2-8) was hit with the loss. He allowed 5 runs and 6 hits in 7 innings. WASHINGTON AT PHILADELPHIA Nationals....... 0 0 1 0 3 0 0 3 1 - 8 16 0 Athletics....... 1 0 2 0 0 0 0 3 0 - 6 10 0 Win:Thomas(4-3) Loss:Dietrich(6-2) Save:Russell(3rd) Homeruns- J.Stone(3rd), J.Foxx(26th), P.Higgins(9th) John Stone had 4 hits and 3 RBI as the Washington Nationals defeated the Philadelphia Athletics by the score of 8 to 6 at Shibe Park. Stone was a thorn in the side of the hometown fans as he enjoyed a fine day at their team's expense. He doubled in the 1st inning, doubled scoring a run in the 3rd inning, lifted one out of the park for a two run home run (his 3rd of the season) in the 5th inning and doubled in the 7th inning. Washington out-hit Philadelphia for the game, 16 hits to 10. The win was credited to Tommy Thomas(4-3) who went 7 innings allowing 6 runs. Thomas got help from Jack Russell who earned his 3rd save. Bill Dietrich(6-2) took the loss. He surrendered 10 hits and 1 walk in 7 innings. 'I didn't have my best stuff but sometimes you just get lucky,' Thomas said, 'this was one of those times.'
