Giants 15, Braves 8: New York erupted for nine runs in the 8th inning to turn a narrow deficit into a comfortable win in Boston. The Braves scored four times in the 1st behind two singles, two walks and a three-run triple by Walter Holke, but New York closed to within 6-5 by scoring twice in the 7th when they started the inning with four straight singles. In the 8th, a single and double started the frame and then, after a strikeout, three straight singles scored four runs; two batters later, Lew McCarty delivered the coup de grace with a bases-loaded triple that made it an eight-run inning. George Burns had four hits and scored three times, Hal Chase had three RBI and McCarty had four. [box]

Cardinals 8, Cubs 3: Burt Shotton stroked five hits and Jack Smith drove in four runs to lead the Cardinals to their first win of the season. Shotton's big day included two doubles and a triple; his first two-bagger started a two-run 7th that broke open a 2-1 game, and his second was the big blow of a four-run 8th that salted the game away for St. Louis. Lee Meadows survived two errors behind him in the bottom of the 8th (there were a total of six in the game by the two clubs) and went the route allowing eight hits on the afternoon. [box]
