The Yanks put up a four spot in the 4th off Lew Krausse as the first six batters reached base highlighted by a Bill Robinson homer and a Charley Smith triple. The Athletics had their chances off Steve Barber who seemingly was on the ropes in each and every inning only to be Houdini while going the distance with 9 hit shutout.
