July 1948
Detroit went 8-8 to finish out the month, but they only lost a half-game in the standings. The Red Sox actually gained 2 games in the standings and have moved back into second place.
The Cardinals showed their first signs of weakness by going 6-9. That allowed the Phillies to climb to within 4 games of the lead after they went 10-6. After going just 3-7 against the Cardinals so far this season, Philadelphia went 3-3 against them in July, failing to gain any additional ground. The two teams play 4 more games in the next week, and they will not see each other again until the first week in September.
