Yankees Down Washington Jinx Pitcher
The newest nominee for the pitcher that went to the well once too often is Emil Leonard of the Washington Senators. He held the Yankees to six hits and five hitless innings before the skid was broken 4-0. DiMaggio hit a homer and Joe D also doubled, while Red Rolfe homered later. Marius Russo’s four-hitter aided the win.
