The Athletics regain the American League lead by beating the White Sox, 10 – 9 in 11 innings. In the inning, however, they need two singles, a runner safe on an error, and three walks to win the game as Chicago C Luke Sewell picks one runner off at second base and throws another out at third base on a steal attempt.

Before a 6 – 2 loss to the Reds in Cincinnati, the Dodgers announce that Van Lingle Mungo has been fined, suspended for three days, and given a bill for $1,500 worth of damage done to a St. Louis hotel room following a ruckus last week with teammates trying to get him to bed at four A.M. When a photographer asks to take a picture of Mungo’s black eye, the pitcher replies, “You can take it for $1,000, because that’s what it cost me to get it.”

In Kansas City, Hilton Smith pitches a no-hitter as the Kansas City Monarchs beat the Chicago American Giants, 4 – 0. Smith allows only one Chicago batter to reach base when he walks Melvin Powell in the 4th. Powell is erased on a double play and Smith faces the minimum 27 men. Sug Cornelius pitches a three-hitter in a losing cause.

Browns 3B Harlond Clift equals the American League record at the hot corner with nine assists in a 5 – 4 loss to the Tigers. A fumble and late throw in the 1st inning would have given him a 10th assist. By the end of the season, Clift will set a new record for total chances and the still-standing mark of 405 assists. The Tigers’ Gee Walker has a single to run his hitting streak to 21 games.

1937 – Monte Pearson pitches a one-hitter in stopping the White Sox, 6 – 0. Joe DiMaggio hits his first two homers of the year and George Selkirk his fifth for New York. Chicago’s only hit is a one-out first inning single by Larry Rosenthal, who is erased on a double play.
