Red Sox Suffer Hitless Streak In Five-Game Slump
The Boston Red Sox were held to three hits in a 3-0 loss to St. Louis as they extended a five game drought with 15 hits total in 147 at bats. Key players like Pesky Williams and Dimaggio slipped below .300 while team batting averages crater from the early season pace. In other action, Enos Slaughter belted two homers as St. Louis outslugged Boston 9-8 in a back-and-forth contest that went to extra innings before rain ended the day’s schedule.
