Starting pitcher Dutch Leonard pitched well enough to help the New York Yankees beat the Boston Red Sox, 4-3. The winning pitcher was Leonard, now 6-3. He tossed 9 innings of 5-hit ball, while walking 5 and fanning 4. With the win, the Yankees sit at 23-15.

Ernie Lombardi, who won the Most Valuable Player Award in 1938, had a direct impact on the outcome. Lombardi contributed a run-scoring single in the top of the seventh inning to put New York up, 4-0.

After the game, New York manager Joe McCarthy applauded the team's effort. "They busted their humps out there," he said.
