He drove in 4 runs and scored once. Chicago starter Preacher Roe was credited with the win after throwing 118 pitches over 9 innings. His record now stands at 8-3. Chicago has now won 8 in a row.

With Chicago leading 1-0 in the bottom of the second, Pesky hit a fastball from Joe Coleman for a 2-run double. It was his 14th double of the season and put the Cubs ahead, 3-0.
