Yankees Pocket 2-1 Win Against Washington
New York pitcher Virgil Trucks did his part in helping his team defeat the Washington Senators, 2-1. The opposition could never get too much going against the right-hander. The winner was Trucks. He threw 6.0 innings of shutout ball. The loser was Jack Kramer. The win puts New York at 7-5.

Who knows how it might've ended, had it not been for Thurman Tucker? The New York center fielder had a 2-run double in the top of the fifth inning to put the Yankees on top, 2-0. For the game, Tucker had 1 double and 1 single in 5 at-bats.

"Feels good to get the job done," Tucker said after the game.
