For a remarkable 2nd time in five weeks, Lefty Grove strikes out three batters on nine pitches, this time victimizing the White Sox (Moe Berg, Tommy Thomas and Johnny Mostil) in the 7th inning. Grove also starts the A’s scoring with a solo home run and wins, 6 – 3, his 6th straight win over Chicago and his 24th of the year. Not until Jim Bunning, in 1959, will another American League hurler strike out the side on nine pitches.
