Phil Todt hit a three-run homerun in the third to give the Red Sox an early lead, and then in the fourth Charlie Berry also hit a three-run homerun, and Hod Lisenbee (7-6) had what he needed to shut down the Nationals.

Detroit 6 Chicago (AL) (H) 4
The score was tied 1-1 after the fifth, but Dale Alexander hit a two-run homerun and woke up the Tigers offense and they soon took a 6-1 lead. They needed those extra runs because the White Sox scored three times in the ninth to make it close. Vic Sorrell (7-8) got the win but had to be pulled in the seventh because of an arm issue.
St. Louis (AL) 5 Cleveland (H) 3
The Browns took an early 3-1 lead after the fourth, but the Indians kept at it and finally tied the score at 3-3 after the eighth. Neither team scored in the ninth, and then Red Kress hit a two-run homerun in the tenth to put the Browns ahead to stay. Dick Coffman (6-10) went all the way for the victory.
Philadelphia (AL) 8 New York (AL) (H) 5 (GM 1)
The A's were ahead most of the game, but the Yankees scored a run in the eighth to make it close and then tied the game in the bottom of the ninth to send it to extra innings. Nobody scored in the tenth, and then in the eleventh Yankees reliever, Red Ruffing muffed a throw to first and opened the door for a three-run A's rally. Rube Walberg (10-4) went all the way for the victory.
New York (AL) (H) 13 Philadelphia (AL) 7

St. Louis (NL) (H) 8 Pittsburgh 7 (11)
The Cardinals scored four times in the first and built a 5-1 lead heading into the fifth. The Cardinals then displayed some "adventuresome" fielding and the Pirates were able to tie the score at 5-5. The Pirates pushed across two more runs in the eighth and looked to have a come-from-behind victory all sewed up until the Cardinals scored twice in the bottom of the ninth to end the game into extra innings.

Wednesday, July 9, 1930
Washington 10 Boston (AL) (H) 3 (GM 1)
Washington was leading 5-0 already in the middle of the top of the fourth and then Joe Judge hit a three-run homerun and put the game out of reach. Sad Sam Jones (6-2) got the complete-game victory.
Washington 6 Boston (AL) (H) 2 (GM 2)
The big hit in this game was a Sam West three-run double in the sixth that gave the Nationals a comfortable lead. Lloyd Brown (9-5) outdueled Milt Gaston (10-6) and Washington took both ends of the doubleheader.
Note: After breaking a leg way back in the fourth game of the year, Jack Rothrock made his first appearance back as a pinch-hitter.
Detroit 5 Chicago (AL) (H) 2
The Tigers scored three times in the second, and George Uhle (11-5) did the rest. John Stone and Charlie Gehringer both hit solo homeruns. It was Gehringer's third homerun of the season, his first in 60+ games, as BBW was apt to remind me.
Cleveland (H) 7 St. Louis (AL) 6
Quite an afternoon in Cleveland as the Browns quickly took a 4-0 lead, but then the Indians scored four times in the second to tie it right back up. The lead moved back and forth until Wes Ferrell (12-7) finally were able to hold off Rip Collins (4-5) and the Browns for the victory.
New York (AL) (H) 12 Philadelphia (AL) 9
The A's had a comfortable 9-3 lead heading into the bottom of the eighth, so I followed the A's actual lineup and made several substitutions to get some of the starters some rest, and of course, the Yankees then proceeded to score nine times in the bottom of the eighth. Jimmie Foxx went 3-for-5 with four RBI's with two doubles and a homerun (#15), but it was for naught when Bill Dickey and Lou Gehrig (#23) both homered in the eighth to lead the Yankees rally.
Note: In the first game of yesterday's doubleheader Hank Johnson lasted only 2/3 of an inning and was replaced, yet he turned around and started the next day.
Brooklyn (H) 7 Boston (NL) 0 (GM 1)
Dazzy Vance (9-6) overpowered the Braves today as the Robins used a three-run third and a three-run fourth to build an early lead and earn an easy victory. Babe Herman went 3-for-4 with a double and a homerun and picked up five RBI's in game one.
Brooklyn (H) 7 Boston (NL) 1 (GM 2)
Earl Clark hit his second homerun of the week, and second of the year, to get a run for Boston, but that would be the only run the Braves would score in eighteen innings today. The Robins hit four homeruns, and Jumbo Elliott (11-0) and Ray Phelps kept the Braves bats quiet for the doubleheader sweep.
Chicago (NL) 9 Cincinnati (H) 5
The Cubs jumped on Ray Kolp (6-3) for five runs in the third, but Cincinnati kept after Charley Root (10-3) and the Cubs to make the score 6-4 after the sixth. The Cubs then put on a bit of a late mini-rally to pull away and secure the win. Harry Heilmann went 3-for-3 with a homerun, and bumped his average up .402.
Note: Curt Walker bounced off the left-field wall going after a fly ball in the fifth and had to come out of the game.

New York (NL) 20 Philadelphia (NL) 3 Cycle!
Bill Terry went 5-for-5 and bumped his average back up to .421.

Cleveland 21 Detroit (H) 13
The Indians had 29 hits and five walks, while Detroit had 18 hits and nine walks, but the Indians had a seven-run third and then a nine-run eighth, so yes, a couple of relievers on both teams took one for the team in this one. Ed Morgan went 4-for-7 with two doubles and homerun (#19) and four RBI's, Dick Porter chipped in with a 5-for-6 day, and lead-off man Bob Seeds picked up five RBI's.
Philadelphia (AL) 11 New York (AL) (H) 5
The A's got up early on the Yankees and then continued to pour it on, accruing 18 hits against three different pitchers. Mickey Cochrane went 4-for-6 with a double, a homerun (#11), and four RBI's to lead the offense. Lou Gehrig hit a homerun (#24) and drove in two runs, bringing his total to 93 RBI's for the season.
Chicago (AL) 7 St. Louis (AL) (H) 4
Browns starter Lefty Stewart (13-4) was well on his way to an easy win when White Sox shortstop Greg Mulleavy hit his first career homerun, a three-run shot in the top of the ninth, and suddenly the White Sox had the lead. Ed Walsh shut the Browns down in the ninth to save it for Hal McKain (4-4).
Philadelphia (NL) (H) 8 New York (NL) 4
The Giants took an early 3-0 lead, but in one swing Pinky Whitney drove in four runs with a grand slam homerun and the Phillies had a lead they wouldn’t give back. Whitney ended up with six RBI's for the day, giving him ten RBI's for the week.

St. Louis (AL) (H) 6 Chicago (AL) 5
The Browns scored twice in the bottom of the eighth on two unearned runs to take the lead, but the White Sox answered back with one in the top of the ninth to tie the score at 5-5. In the bottom of the ninth Ted Gullic led off with a single, and after George Blaeholder was unable to move him along with a sacrifice, Gullic stole second and then scored when Earl McNeely lined the next pitch into the corner for the game winner
Cincinnati 6 Philadelphia (NL) (H) 4
Leo Durocher hit a two-run homerun in the top of the second, but Tommy Thevenow answered with a two-run single in the bottom of the inning to tie the score at 2-2. The Reds then put up three runs in the fourth and Red Lucas (9-5) held off the Phillies to get the win.
St. Louis (NL) 6 Pittsburgh (H) 5 (10)
The Cardinals put up two in the first when George Watkins hit a two-run homerun (#19), but the Pirates put up four in the sixth and Erv Brame (3-6) seemed to have things well in hand.

Lou Gehrig hit a two-run homerun (#25) in the sixth to put the Yankees ahead to stay and then Babe Ruth hit a solo shot (#27) in the eighth to give George Pipgras (10-6) a little breathing room. Ruth had missed the previous four-game series against the A's.
New York (AL) 8 Chicago (AL) (H) 0 (GM 2)
After the seventh inning was completed the Yankees had a 2-0 lead, then the Yankees scored three times in the eighth and then three more times in the ninth. Ed Wells (2-7) lowered his ERA to 6.86 with the complete game shut-out, plus he went 2-for-5 and drove in two runs on the day.
Boston (AL) 11 Cleveland (H) 7
The Red Sox scored single runs in each of the first four innings, but that was all wiped away when the Indians scored five times in the bottom of the seventh, a Glenn Myatt three-run homerun being the big hit for Cleveland. Undeterred, the Red Sox put up a seven-spot in the top of the ninth and won in a laugher. Charlie Berry went 4-for-4 with a homerun and a three-run triple in the ninth.
Washington 8 Detroit (H) 7 (GM 1)
The Nationals scored six times in the fifth to take an 8-0 lead and then had to stand off a furious Tigers rally to win game one of the doubleheader. General Crowder (6-9) went all the way for Washington but looked shaky towards the end. Charlie Gehringer hit a two-out two-run double to get the Tigers within one, but Dale Alexander hit a routine grounder to shortstop for the third out.
Detroit (H) 4 Washington 3 (GM 2)
The Tigers scored three times in the fourth and it looked like Chief Hogsett (4-7) had solved the mystery of the Nationals offense until, of course, Washington scored twice in the top of the eighth to tie the game. In the bottom of the eighth Marty McManus successfully squeezed home Liz Funk to regain the lead, and then George Uhle shut down the Nationals and picked up a one-inning save.
Philadelphia (AL) 9 St. Louis (AL) (H) 3

| Joe Stripp |
Philadelphia (NL) (H) 4 Cincinnati 3
It's a Saturday in Philadelphia, so it must be time for a doubleheader because they won’t be playing tomorrow. The Reds finally pushed across a run in the top of the eighth to retake the lead when new regular first baseman Joe Stripp doubled home Curt Walker. In the bottom of the eighth Spud Davis waked and Tripp Sigman hit a pinch-hit homerun and the Phillies had what they needed to win game one.
Philadelphia (NL) (H) 7 Cincinnati 6
Once again the Phillies pushed across a single run in the bottom of the eighth to win a closely fought game against Cincinnati and to sweep the doubleheader. Center fielder Denny Sothern scored Tony Rensa with the key run and the Phillies held on for the victory.
Pittsburgh (H) 6 St. Louis (NL) 4
It was a tight game in a battle of aces when all of a sudden second baseman George Grantham hit a two-out three-run homerun to give Ray Kremer (8-11) and the Pirates had the runs they needed to take the Cardinals. Jesse Haines (11-3) pitched well but made one mistake.
Sunday, July 13, 1930
New York (AL) 5 Chicago (AL) (H) 2
The White Sox scored two unearned runs in the bottom of the fifth to tie the score at 2-2, and there the score stood through nine innings. In the tenth Lyn Lary drove in Ben Chapman to give the Yankees the lead and then Tony Lazzeri added a two-run double to give Roy Sherid (5-3) a little cushion.
Cleveland (H) 5 Boston (AL) 4
A two-run Earl Averill homerun (#15) in the bottom of the sixth looked like it would be enough for Mel Harder (5-7) and the Indians, but Boston fought back and tied the score with two in the ninth. In the bottom of the ninth Bibb Falk singled home Glenn Myatt and Harder and the Indians had their win.
Detroit (H) 3 Washington 1
Vic Sorrell (8-8) had the good stuff today as he limited the Nationals to only four hits, their lone run coming on a Joe Judge homerun (#9). Charlie Gehringer went 2-for-3 with two doubles and two RBI's, and now has 36 doubles for the season.
St. Louis (AL) (H) 11 Philadelphia (AL) 2
The Browns jumped on Roy Mahaffey (6-3) and the A's with three in the first and then five more in the third. Dick Coffman (7-10) was the receiver of the Brows largesse and he held the A's to only seven hits on the day.
Chicago (NL) 11 Boston (NL) (H) 1 (GM 1)
Sheriff Blake (7-8) also had the good stuff today as he didn't allow a Braves run until two outs in the ninth. Hack Wilson hit a two-run homerun (#24) in the first and the Cubs never looked back.
Boston (NL) (H) 9 Chicago (NL) 8 (10) (GM 2)
Hack Wilson hit his second two-run homerun (#25) of the day in the third and the Cubs had hopes of a doubleheader sweep in Boston, but Guy Bush just couldn't get the third out in the seventh and when the dust cleared Boston had scored six times and had an 8-4 lead. The Cubs fought back and scored four times in the ninth to send the game into extra innings, but a Wally Berger hit sacrifice fly in the tenth drove home the winning run and Boston had their split on the day.
Pittsburgh 6 Brooklyn (H) 1
The Robins scored first with a single run in the first, but that was all Larry French (10-8) would give up today. Pie Traynor hit a homerun and so did Paul Waner in the winning effort.
Cincinnati 8 New York (NL) (H) 4
The Reds bunched hits in the fourth inning and scored five times, knocking Freddie Fitzsimmons out of the box, and held on for the win. Harry Heilmann got his 30th double of the season, and Benn Frey (10-3) picked up the win.
