Babe Ruth did what's natural for him, going 2-for-4 with a Grand Slam and triple, 5 RBI & 3 runs. In an odd statistic, both Yankees' backup catchers Benny Bengough & Johnny Grabowski hit triples during the game -- catchers are not known for their speed.

The game for the most part wasn't anything close. The Giants first jumped off to a 3-0 lead after two innings, while the Phillies turned around and scored 10 runs the next four innings. The Tigers entered the bottom of the 8th with an 11-4 lead, during the next two innings the Giants would add eight hits -- plus Mitch Williams was one mistake away from blowing the save after giving up a two-run HR to Johnny McCarthy.
Damon Hollins joined three other record holders for two triples in one game, while Kevin Stocker also joined record-holders for four runs in a single ballgame; Stocker also went 3-for-5, 2 doubles & 3 RBI.
The Phillies are looking forward to a possible sweep of the New York Giants, next game.

WP- W.Hernandez (1-0)
LP- Mathewson (2-2)
The Detroit Tigers join quite a few teams in this grouping of games, that is eyeing a sweep now, after their tough 4-2 victory. Tom Brookens had an early RBI triple in a rare start, Dan McGann helped get the Giants back into a tie with his two RBI. The Giants pitched Red Ames four innings in relief, and decided to use Christy Mathewson as a one-inning relief option in which he surrendered a two-run homer to Barbaro Garbey (brought in as a defensive replacement for Darrell Evans).
Milt Wilcox had his best start of the season, as he allowed only 1 ER in 6 innings of work, while Dummy Taylor of the Giants, pitched 7 innings, allowing 4 hits & 2 ER's, while striking out seven Tigers.

Josh Gibson who had the only cycle in league history, fell a HR short of another -- going 3-for-4, with 2 RBI. Roosevelt Davis, a surprise so far, had a shorter outing this time out (5 innings).
