Showboat Newsome Tops Browns for 10th Win in Tigers Rally
Detroit right hander Newsome earned his tenth win with a 2-1 victory over the St. Louis Browns as Charley Gehringer and Hank Greenberg powered two Detroit homers to offset seven Browns hits. The win narrows the gap to two games behind idle Cleveland. Hal Schumacher of the Giants pitched a three hitter to blank the Phillies 7-0, with New York receiving 15 safeties. The pennant chase centers on pitching luck and timely hitting as early-season struggles fade for Schumacher and Newsome.
