No-Hit Victory Highlights Ed Head's Comeback
Ed Head, who learned to pitch right-handed after a 1935 arm injury, threw a no hitter for the Dodgers against the Boston Braves at Ebbets Field. The game marked the Dodgers first no-hit pitcher since 1940, with four Braves reaching base on walks and an error. Head credited his slider and slow pitches, sending a strong stat line beside news of other MLB results and a weather-related postponement.
