The Giants send Red Ames, Heinie Groh and outfielder Josh Devore to Cincinnati for P Art Fromme and infielder Eddie Grant.

Browns rookie Dwight Stone gives up six hits, seven walks and plunks three batters, but still beats the Yankees, 7 – 0. The visiting New Yorkers strand a modern major league-record 15 runners in the shutout by Stone, who will win just one more game this season. Ed Klepfer is the losing pitcher in his only decision of the year. The record will be matched three times and finally topped, in 1994. The National League record of 14 runners stranded in a shutout was set less than two weeks earlier by Pittsburgh against the Phillies.
