NEW YORK YANKEES 3 - WASHINGTON SENATORS 1...New York moved back into a first place tie with the Detroit Tigers...In Yankee Stadium Lefty Gomez (5-4 2.38) ended fourth place Washington's win streak at six games with an eight-strikeout seven-hit performance...Bernie Williams (.182), Lou Gehrig (.299) and Joe Gordon (.258) each drove in a run to claim the victory...Bet Blyleven pulled a back muscle in the sixth and was relieved by Jim Kaat (1-2 4.84), who took the loss...Blyleven stopped the Yanks on one hit and one run...He will be out for about a week...Firpo Marberry was signed to fill in for him.
ST. LOUIS BROWNS 3 - DETROIT TIGERS 2 (12 innings)...In St. Louis it was a tense pitchers battle between two of the best in the league...the Browns' Mike Cuellar (8-4 2.55) and Detroit's Hal Newhouser (5-4 2.86), both of them went all twelve innings...it was finally decided in the twelfth, when George Sisler (.342) singled, stole second, moved to third on a balk and came home on Ken Williams' (.271) single...Cuellar walked none and fanned seven, while Newhouser pretty much matched him with eight K's and two walks.
CHICAGO WHITE SOX 3 - PHILADELPHIA ATHLETICS 2 (first game)...at Shibe Park in Philadelphia, the third place Pale Hose took both ends of a doubleheader from the sixth place A's...in the opener Ted Lyons (4-4 2.60) stopped them on six hits and was only hurt by Jimmy Foxx's (.268) two-run bomb in the ninth...Chicago was led by Shoeless Joe Jackson's (.364) trio of hits and two runs scored...Frank Thomas (.292) and Magglio Ordonez each had rbi's...A's loser Ed Rommel (5-5 3.14) went eight frames and limited the Sox to two earned runs.
CHICAGO WHITE SOX 5 - PHILADELPHIA ATHLETICS 3 (second game)...in game two the White Sox got good pitching from Wilbur Wood (7-3 2.15), the AL ERA leader, and roundtrippers from Frank Thomas (.293) and Magglio Ordonez (.274)...Thomas took over the MLB HR derby when he nailed his fourteenth...he also tied Detroit's Hank Greenberg for the most rbi's with 49...it was number eleven for Ordonez...Chief Bender (1-2 4.95) gave up all five runs in six-plus innings and absorbed the loss...the Chisox have now won four straight and the A's have fallen in their last four contests.
CLEVELAND INDIANS 11 - BOSTON RED SOX 1...at Municipal Stadium Cleveland's Herb Score was on target as he overpowered the Bosox on a five-hitter...the Tribe trounced loser Cy Young, blasting him for ten runs in four innings, only six of them were earned...Earl Averill (.302) propelled the Indian attack with four hits, three runs scored and two rbi's, including his sixth fourbagger...Hal Trosky (.296) chipped in a three-run bash...Nap Lajoie (.309) delivered three hits and two rbi's...Tris Speaker (.335), Larry Doby (.298) and Joe Sewell each slapped two hits in the Tribe's fifteen-hit count.

PITTSBURGH PIRATES 4 - ST. LOUIS CARDINALS 3 (first game-11innings)...the second place Pirates and fourth place Cards divided a doubleheader, causing Pittsburgh to slip to a full game out of first place...the first game was a real thriller at Forbes Field...in the last of the eleventh, pinchhitter Glenn Wright (.208) singled off reliever Todd Worrell and drove George Grantham in from second...Pie Traynor (.361) had slapped a two-run homer off of Redbird starter Mort Cooper (7-5 3.75) to tie it in the eighth at 2-2...Stan Musial then put St. Louis up by one in the tenth...only to be matched by Bucco Arky Vaughan's solo smash in the bottom of the inning...Musial twice saved the day and threw out the winning runs in the ninth and eleventh innings...Reliever Kent Tekulve (2-0 4.71) got the win with two tension-filled innings of relief...Cooper tired late in the game and received the loss.
