Lefty Smith Faces Unlucky Streak In Baseball Spotlight
Famed pitcher Lefty Edgar Smith of the Chicago White Sox endures a brutal stretch as he battles a 10-game losing run. A 1-0 loss to the Red Sox hinges on a ball slipping under a bullpen bench at Comiskey Park, while Dimaggio’s delayed score amid a seven-hit duel with Wagner adds drama to a day of league action. The piece ties in Waner’s 3,000th hit and other notable results across Cleveland, Brooklyn, and St Louis, all part of a busy major league slate.
