Before 52,832 at Yankee Stadium, Joe DiMaggio leads a sweep of the Red Sox, 7 – 2 and 9 – 2. The second game is called after 5 innings. DiMaggio has 2 hits in the first game and one in the second to tie Willie Keeler’s major-league hitting streak of 44 games with the help of a difficult decision by the official scorer. Red Sox third baseman Jim Tabor makes a poor throw, but Joltin’ Joe is given a hit by New York World Telegram’s Dan Daniel. The Yankees have 25 hits in the two games but fail to hit a home run in the first game, ending their streak of 25 consecutive games with at least one dinger. The previous record, set by the Tigers in 1940, was 17 games.
