In the 6th inning of a 16 – 6 Yankee win in Detroit, the Tigers’ Goose Goslin drives a ball in the gap in right center. RF Joe DiMaggio and CF Myril Hoag, in for a slumping Jake Powell, sprint for the ball and collide, the ball bounding by for an inside-the-park home run. Both players are knocked unconscious but appear unhurt: DiMaggio stays in though Hoag is replaced. Hoag will play tomorrow and collect a single, then collapse in his hotel room on the 30th with a brain clot. Hoag will be operated on successfully at Harper Hospital and will be out the rest of the season, but he’ll return to play six more years. New York wins the game on 20 hits, scoring four runs in each of the first two innings, and three apiece in the 4th and 5th. Lou Gehrig’s two doubles, single and home run number 31 with two aboard pace the visitors. Tommy Bridges is the loser while Johnny Murphy, who relieves Monte Pearson in the 4th, is credited with the win. George Selkirk adds a homer for the Yankees, who have now hit 122.

Under rainy conditions at Ebbets Field, the Dodgers thrill a crowd of 485 by routing Cy Blanton and beating the Pirates for the third straight time, 6 – 3. Fred Frankhouse has only one bad inning – the 3rd in which the Bucs make all their runs on six hits – in winning his 6th against eight losses. Frankhouse has five assists while SS Lonny Frey has none.

In an exhibition game against a semipro shoe company, Paul Dean is hammered for six hits and four runs in four innings. The Cards then rally with Flint Rhem and Pepper Martin on the mound to win, 8 – 5. A tearful Dean threatens to quit after the rout.

The A’s knock out Vern Kennedy and then break an 8 – 8 tie with seven runs in the 9th to win, 15 – 8. Red Evans is the loser to Harry Kelley. The A’s collect 25 hits, including 5 by Lou Finney.

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 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.

The Tigers strand 14 runners and lose to Boston and Wes Ferrell, 10 – 3. The Tigers have 13 hits, including those of Goose Goslin who goes 3 for 3. Jimmie Foxx hits his 28th homer of the year in Boston’s five-run 8th, then hits another in the 9th, to pin the loss on Elden Auker.

Before a paid attendance of 41,596 in Boston, the largest crowd in the National League since 1930, the Cards and Bees split. The Bees take the opener, 4 – 3, on Wally Berger’s two-run homer in the 8th inning off Jesse Haines. The nitecap is knotted at 2 – 2 in the 7th, when the Cards unload five runs. Joe Medwick leads off the frame with a homer, Johnny Mize doubles, and Virgil Davis homers to knock out Ben Cantwell. After two more reach base, Dizzy Dean drives them both home to ensure his 16th win of the year. Dean has a run-scoring triple in the 3rd as well.

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.

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.
