Bonham Dominates as Yankees Win. Fans Groan at Solo Hit
Ernie Bonham pitched eight innings of four hit ball with two walks and a seventh inning homer by Joe Kuhel preventing a shutout. Despite an 4-1 win, Yankee Stadium crowd complained Bonham was slipping after allowing more than seven hits for the first time this season. Joe DiMaggio provided the offense with a three run homer, his tenth of the year, fueling the victory and keeping Bonham undefeated at eight straight. The Associated Press recap also notes the A's beat Detroit 5-1 and the Browns overwhelmed Washington 9-5, while the Pirates faced a weather postponement after last night's 17-21 drubbing by the Dodgers.
