Reds And Tigers Seize Early Baseball Leads

In a busy three day swing, the Reds and Tigers moved atop the majors bench after key wins and slips by Indians and Dodgers. Cincinnati won 4-3 on a fateful eighth inning as Morrie Arnovich forced a walk with Billy Herman miscue setting up the rally. The Dodgers also fell, while the Braves and Cubs split in other action as Boston’s Brooks dropped two close games. Cleveland blew a chance to keep the lead with a 3-1 loss to Chicago White Sox as Detroit topped St Louis 5-2. Pirates snapped a five game skid by sweeping St Louis in four, while the Giants split with Philadelphia, and the Yankees beat Philadelphia then lost to Nelson Potter’s six hitter. Ol’ Mose Grove earned another win for the Red Sox in a 7-1 victory over Washington, though Boston’s offense stalled late against Rene Montalvo.
