COULD HARDLY BE CLOSER IN BOTH LEAGUES WITH PLENTY OF CHANCES – A’S AND TIGERS ALL SQUARE IN AL – PIRATES’ 21-7 JULY SEES THEM ATOP THE NL

Notable Performances
  • 4th: A huge game from 1B Pete Runnells in which he goes 5-for-6 with two doubles, a triple and 5 ribbies, powers the Phillies 13-4 past Pittsburgh.
  • 8th: Beaneaters hurler Orlando Hernandez two-hits the Reds in a 2-0 win, while Brooklyn OF Delino DeShields manages three more than that on his own to help the Superbas down the Pirates 9-3.
  • 9th: The Giants post 4-spots in each of the 8th and 9th innings to rally past the faltering Cardinals 11-6.
  • 14th: CF Rudy Law powers the Senators to a 12-4 drubbing of the Browns with a 5-hit barrage.
  • 15th: A wild one in New York, with the Tigers scoring 7 in the top 9th to take the unlikely lead, only to concede 5 in the home half and lose 13-12 and fall 4 ½ games out of first.
  • 18th: The Cardinals overcome a whopping 7 errors to nip the Superbas 9-8, with Harry Gumbert notching his FL-leading 15th win of the campaign.
  • 22nd: The Sens score 3 in the 9th to send their game against the A’s into extras, then walk it off in the 10th for a crucial win.
  • 24th: Pittsburgh scores 2 in the 9th to squeak past the Redbirds, putting them in the outright lead in the NL for the first time in franchise history.
  • 26th: George Stone goes 3-for-4 with 2 dingers and 4 ribbies to power the White Sox offence in an 11-4 cruise over the Tigers.

Feats and Streaks
  • 26th: Browns 1B Mike Lum’s 23-game hit streak is snapped with an 0-for-5 showing against the Naps.

Transactions
  • 15th: The Americans address a concern by sending SS Andy Fox and P Pol Perritt to the Cubs in exchange for C Ed Phelps.
  • 18th: A blockbuster trade sees the Cards send 1B Ryan Shealy to the Giants for CF Chuck Diering.
  • 23rd: The Beaneaters and Browns do a spot of horse trading with CF Alan Bannister being shipped to St Louis in exchange for 2B Tito Fuentes and promising SP Charlie Smith.
  • 25th: The Reds tighten up their roster by trading outfielder Jim Fairey and reliever Dave Patterson to the Browns for outfielder Duncan Mohr.
  • 30th: A bit of a blockbuster between Cleveland and Philadelphia, with pitchers Eric Plunk and John Maine now Naps and Charles Thomas a Phillie.
  • 31st: One final trade before the deadline passes with the Cubs sending 1B Richie Hebner to the Superbas for 2B Bill Rodgers and minor league pitcher Joe Price.

Injuries
  • 3rd: A fractured elbow knocks Boston SP Joe Johnson out of action for the remainder of the season.
  • 18th: The Cubs lose last season’s MVP Todd Dunwoody for a month with a fractured thumb.
  • 24th: A diagnosis of shoulder inflammation sees Browns SP George Chalmers’ season brought to a premature end.
  • 25th: A great FL debut for Giants cornerman Pete Ward, in which he goes 4-for-4 with two doubles and two driven in, ends on a sour note when he pulls a hamstring and will be forced to sit out for about a month.
