Grand National Association:
Baltimore (5) at Brooklyn (4) in 13 innings: Pop Yurkovich (35-5.6) (14-21) over Al Green (24-3.8) (17-19). The go-ahead run reached base via an error and scored on a long fly out. In 12.1 innings, Yurkovich allowed 8 hits, 3 walks and struck out 3. After he gave up a 1-out single in the bottom of the 13th, rookie Ed Price (23-5.7) came in and promptly gave up a single, but then got the next two batters out to preserve the win. In 13 innings, Green allowed 9 hits, 6 walks and struck out 7. He has now lost 6 of his last 7 decisions.
Kansas City (14) at St. Louis (3): Al McClaughry (23-5.6) (24-14) over Fred Barrow (35-4.7) (17-16). McClaughry allowed 4 hits, 1 walk and struck out 4. 2B Jim McCarthy (26-7.5), in his 1st game after missing almost 3 weeks with an injury, had 4 hits with a triple, scored 2 runs and had 2 RBIs.
Chicago (8) at Milwaukee (6): Pony Stanley (24-6.2) (12-8) in relief of Pat Seguin (23-4.4) over Wiley Steel (25-5.6) (7-11). In 5 innings, Seguin only allowed 3 hits and a run, but had to leave when he got beaned at bat. His bruised shoulder should keep him out of action for 5 or so days. LF Washington Macho (38-8.3) will sit right by Seguin for 5 days with a sore ankle.
