Yankees Deal Athletics 3-2 Loss
The New York Yankees, despite a fine performance by Philadelphia pitcher Spud Chandler, grabbed a 3-2 win at Shibe Park. Chandler allowed 3 runs over 12 innings. New York reliever Johnny Podgajny got the win, raising his record to 1-0. Spud Chandler was tagged with the loss. Picking up the save was 29-year old left-handed pitcher Ernie White.

Who knows how it would've ended, had it not been for Thurman Tucker? The slick-fielding center fielder Tucker stroked a run-scoring single in the top of the 12th inning to put New York up, 3-2. For the game, he was 2 for 6, including 1 double and 1 single.

Philadelphia manager Connie Mack said he was "mildly disappointed" with the loss. "We had our opportunities, but we didn't take advantage of them," he said.

The victory makes New York 1-1.
