The Giants score three runs in the bottom of the 9th to beat the Reds, 5 – 4. Helping the victory is a 4th-inning triple play started when LF Hank Leiber makes a brilliant catch near the left centerfield wall.

Umpire Bill Summers is forced out the game after he is hit in the groin by a pop bottle thrown from an unruly crowd of 50,000 at Comiskey Park. The crowd is upset with an outcall at first base on Rip Radcliff in the 8th inning of the nitecap. Judge Landis, on hand to watch the game, offers a $5,000 reward over the public address system for the culprit, but only draws more boos. The deluge of pop bottles finally abates when Jimmy Dykes pleads through the field amplifier. The Yanks sweep a pair from the Sox, winning, 12 – 3 and 11 – 8, in 11 innings. Lou Gehrig hits his 29th homer with two aboard to start New York’s scoring in the opener. Joe DiMaggio and Tony Lazzeri add round trippers to make it easy for Johnny Broaca. Sugar Cain is the losing pitcher. In the nitecap, Gehrig adds another homer, while Zeke Bonura homers and drives home four runs for the Sox. DiMaggio has one hit, a triple. The sweep increases New York’s lead to 9 1/2 games.

The Cubs pound out 19 hits to beat the Phils, 17 – 4, and extend their lead over the Cardinals to three games. Curt Davis is the winner, holding his former teammates to six safeties. Three of the Philly hits come in the 9th when they score three runs on Walt Bashore’s single and consecutive homers by Chuck Klein and Dolph Camilli. The Cubs are led by homers from Augie Galan and Ethan Allen as they chase Bucky Walters with four runs in the 3rd, and add another nine off Syl Johnson in three innings.

The Red Sox tally 20 hits to crush the Tigers, 18 – 3, scoring all their runs in two big innings. The Sox score six in the 2nd to drive Tommy Bridges from the mound, then tally 12 more in the 5th; it is the second time this month that the Red Sox have scored more than 10 runs in an inning. Doc Cramer has four Boston hits, while three others have three hits. Lefty Grove gives up nine hits in the easy win.

In the A’s 15 – 12 win over the Indians, Philadelphia catcher Frankie Hayes equals a major-league record with four doubles, the last coming in the 9th with the bases loaded. Reliever Harry Kelley is the winner, despite he and Carl Doyle giving up 18 hits. Veteran pitcher George Uhle, recently added to the Indians’ roster, hits a homer, but is replaced by Lloyd Brown.

1936 – In a 16 – 4 cakewalk over the Pirates, Phillies OF Johnny Moore hits three straight home runs.
