WP- J.Palmer (2-0)
LP- Neagle (0-1)
Denny Neagle (for the second time this season) got ejected during the second inning, not making Manager Bobby Cox very happy as he had to use his bullpen more than he would have liked.
The Orioles pretty much dominated the Braves in this one, as four Birds hit one into the stands, including Paul Blair who has been on fire since moving to the third slot, going 3-for-5, 3 RBI, 2 runs & two steals. Merv Rettenmund got a rare start and took advantage of it with a 3-for-5 performance of his own, that also including a HR (plus 2 RBI & steal).
Jim Palmer pitched 6 scoreless innings with 7 strikeouts.

Jeff Reardon in to close in the 9th, would give Frank Howard a lead-off, game-tying HR in the 9th. The Expos would not answer in the 9th, forcing extras. Top of the 10th, Reardon still in in, gives up a two-run blast to Tommy Davis. Ron Perranoski comes in and closes the game out for the Dodgers.
Scott Sanderson pitched another good game for Montreal, pitching six, allowing only four hits & one run -- while driving in two runs on two singles with the bat.

LP- Schumacher (1-2)
Heinie Groh really got things going for the 1912 Giants, when he hit a ball to deep right center over Jo-Jo Moore's head at the Polo Grounds, Groh dug around the bases and got an inside the park two-run homer*, to take a 5-0 lead.
*- [Groh in reality had no HR's in 48 at-bats, but rolled a 66-3 with a man on second, for the Home Run (to deep right field) result -- cool thing is he plays at the Polo Grounds, plus we all know how far out the center-field wall is.]
Beals Becker (12' Giants) tied the single-game record with three other players for three stolen bases. Jo-Jo Moore of the 37's, went 3-for-4, with 2 doubles, a triple & RBI.

INJURIES: 1B- Bollweg (53' NYY) - 22 Games.
Both teams appeared anemic of home plate until the bottom of the 10th, as Yogi Berra smacked a walk-off two-run homer off of Dan Ruether. The Yankees now have sole possession of first place in their division (Stripes II).

Manny Ramirez & "Big Papi" each homered and got Boston off to a 4-0 lead, which lasted until the 7th inning, as the Phillies grinded their way back with two run, plus two more in the 8th with a game-tying two-run home run from Greg Luzinski. The game would go into the 11th, in which Bob Boone hit his 2nd double of the day, a two-run double that would seal the win. Phillies are now two games up on the 1984 Tigers.

1931 Athletics 2 4 0

Philadelphia (6-5) / St. Louis (6-5)
WP- Gumbert (2-0)
LP- Walberg (2-1)
SV- E.White (1)
INJURIES: C-Palmisamo (31' PHI-A) - 30 games & C-Cochrane (31' PHI-A) - 5 games.
A weird game in which the Cardinals' pitcher up at-bat fouled a ball off of catcher Mickey Cochrane's right shoulder blade, his replacement Joe Palmisamo comes in and Gumbert once again fouls the ball, this time injuring Palmisamo -- so you could understand that his replacement Joe Heving might be just a bit nervous to replace him. Ray Sanders of the Cardinals, ties the league record held by teammate Marty Marion & 2007 Red Sox' Jason Varitek with 3 doubles in a single game. The 7-9 slots of the Cards produced 6 of their 9 hits, as Slaughter & Musial went hitless. Al Simmons finally made a bit of noise for the Athletics, by hitting his first HR of the season (Simmons is only batting .195).
