1935 – In a showdown series with the 2nd-place Cardinals in St. Louis, the Cubs edge the Cardinals, 1 – 0. Paul Dean strikes out the first four Cub batters before young Phil Cavarretta drives a home run on top the roof in RF for the only score of the game. Lon Warneke gives up just two hits and walks none in winning his 20th game. It is the Cubs’ 19th straight win, and they are now assured of at least a tie for the pennant.
