Indians Rained Out of the Pennant in Final Road Trip
The Cleveland Indians watched a pennant push slip away as rainouts in New York and decisive losses to Boston dampened their chase. Johnny Allen struggled in a 4-0 setback to Emerson Dickman, while Mel Harder won 3-0 with five hits allowed. Bob Feller complained his fastball had vanished, raising concerns for a heavy doubleheader slate and a tough schedule ahead. The Giants in the National League also lag four games behind as they return home after a rough road stretch.
