The Philadelphia Athletics beat the New York Yankees by a score of 10-5. Philadelphia right fielder Hank Edwards deserved the lion's share of the credit. Edwards went 3 for 5 with 2 doubles. He scored 2 times and drove in 3 for the Athletics. With the loss, New York falls to 4-4.

With Philadelphia leading 5-4 in the top of the sixth, Harry Brecheen hit a run-scoring single off New York pitcher Mickey Haefner. It put the Athletics ahead 6-4.

"We put a lot of pressure on ourselves," Edwards told a Philadelphia Bulletin reporter. "Sometimes we just need to relax."
