Rain Erases New One-Day Homer Record in Majors
The National League hitters swatted nine homers across several games but rain in Pennsylvania washed out a key Reds-Phillies doubleheader. The NL likely would have set a single day record, tying 25 homers, yet the doubleheader was halted with Cincinnati leading Philadelphia 4-3 in the third. Cubs Dodgers and Giants Cards splits produced multiple homers in Brooklyn and New York. White Sox swept Washington while Cleveland pounded Yankees with five homers in two wins. Orioles Athletics and Braves Pirates also homered as rain relented elsewhere, with Billy Pierce and Early Wynn shining on the mound across the magazine’s action.
