Former Boston P Red Ruffing wins the first game, 4 – 1, and ex-New Yorker Wilcy Moore blanks his former mates, 1 – 0, in the nightcap. Moore allows just three singles in topping George Pipgras. The Yanks will go 308 games before being shut out again.

The next time the Bronx Bombers fail to score in a game will be in another two years and a day, spanning a major league record of 308 contests.
