Braves Slap 7-4 Loss on Philadelphia
Joe DiMaggio helped his team muscle past the Philadelphia Phillies, 7-4. In the game, the Boston center fielder was 2 for 4 with a triple and a walk, while adding 2 RBI and scoring once. Picking up the win was Harry Taylor. He went 5 innings, allowing 3 runs on 6 hits. The right--hander struck out 3 and walked 5. With the loss, Philadelphia falls to 4-2.

Who knows how it might've ended, had it not been for Buddy Kerr? The Boston shortstop had a 2-run double in the top of the third inning to put the Braves on top, 5-3. For the game, Kerr had 1 double and 1 single in 4 at-bats.

"Winning the game is always the first objective," DiMaggio said.
