In a late-developing barn burner between bottom feeders, the last place Bucs waste one of the longest home runs of Ralph Kiner’s career by blowing a 9th-inning lead to the next-to-last Reds, giving up 6 runs in the top of the frame. However, displaying great resilience, they come all the way back, scoring six and winning, 10 – 9, as Clyde McCullough lines one off pitcher John Hetki to score Wally Westlake with the game-ending tally. The Post-Gazette’s Jack Hernon recalls fondly the game’s initial eight innings: “It was a good game to watch for eight innings as Ralph Kiner gave Bill Werle a 4 – 2 lead over Ewell Blackwell with a two-run homer in the 5th inning. The ball left the field slightly to the left of the light tower near dead center field and carried far into Schenley Park.

The Rangers pull a fast one in the 2nd inning of their 9 – 5 win over the Mariners. In his first major league at-bat, Jesus Sucre hits a ground ball to first. 1B Mitch Moreland relays to SS Elvis Andrus to retire Justin Smoak for one out, and Andrus throws back to first, but P Justin Grimm crosses in front of Moreland and catches the ball, well away from first base, and walks away as if nothing particular has taken place. The umpires are fooled though, and call Sucre out for a double play. Umpire Jeff Nelson will later admit his mistake, explaining that “the pitcher came out of nowhere” to make the catch. He’s not the only one fooled by Grimm’s great acting job, as on-deck hitter Brendan Ryan says he also missed it, and Mariners manager Eric Wedge comes out to argue – but only that Moreland’s foot was off the bag!
