Pirate catcher Bill Salkeld is 5 for 5, including hitting for the cycle, and drives in all five runs in a 6-5 loss

On August 4, 1945 — At Pittsburgh, Pirate catcher Bill Salkeld is 5 for 5, including hitting for the cycle, and drives in all five runs, but his Bucs lose, 6 – 5 to Cardinals reliever Harry Brecheen. Salkeld hits his only triple of the year in the cycle, half his career total. His offensive effort offsets a curious defensive stat: he has no putouts or assists in the game.
