Cubs Turn Back Pirates, 3-1
The Chicago Cubs downed the Pittsburgh Pirates, 3-1, at Forbes Field. Stellar pitching by Preacher Roe had a lot to do with it. The left-hander, who is tied for 3rd in the NL in complete games with 6, handcuffed his opponent all game. In 9 innings, Roe surrendered 8 hits, while striking out 4 and walking 2. He allowed 1 run. The win puts Chicago at 21-15 this season.

Who knows how it might've ended, had it not been for Ted Williams? The Chicago left fielder had a 2-run double in the top of the third inning to put the Cubs on top, 2-0. For the game, Williams had 1 double and 1 single in 4 at-bats.

Roe called the win a test of his team's "mettle."
