WEB GEMS- Top 4th: Larry Doby robbed Bobby Doerr of an extra base hit.
 
In a close game it was the blistering-hot Cleveland Indians 4, the Boston Red
Sox 2 at Municipal Stadium.
 
Cleveland took the lead for good in the bottom of the 3rd inning with 2 runs
on 2 base hits.  Ray Boone jump-started the scoring when he delivered a solo
blast.  Two outs later Joe Gordon stepped in and he clubbed a solo home run.
Mike Garcia(5-1) got help from Satchel Paige who pitched a perfect ninth and
was credited with his 2nd save.  
 
Mickey McDermott(1-2) was charged with the loss.  Cleveland added another win
to their now very impressive winning streak. Lou Boudreau was clearly happy
after the game -- 'Everything is clicking for us right now.'

1949 AL Game: Phil. @ Det.

July 18, 1949

  The Detroit Tigers put an end to their 5 game losing streak with a dramatic 6-5 victory over the Philadelphia Athletics today at Briggs Stadium. Philadelphia had embarrassed Detroit the first 2 games of this series by the scores of 13-7 and 19-7. In this game the Tigers trailed 3-2 going into the bottom of the 8th but rallied for 3 runs taking a 5-3 lead. The key hit was a pinch-hit, 2 out 2 run single by Don Kolloway (pictured). But the Athletics came back to tie the game at 5 all in the top of the 9th on Sam Chapman's 2 run single. Then in the bottom of the 9th, George Kell tripled, driving in the game winning run and halting the team's skid while finally giving the hometown fans something to cheer about.

TEAM RISP- Pirates: 5 for 13  Giants: 0 for 2
 
Ralph Kiner smacked 3 homeruns and had 8 RBI and Tiny Bonham allowed just 3
hits as the Pittsburgh Pirates defeated the New York Giants by a score of 12
to 3 at Polo Grounds.
 
Kiner had a big day with his bat.  He cracked a two-run shot in the 1st
inning, lofted a three-run bomb in the 2nd inning and belted a three-run
homer in the 8th inning.  Pittsburgh finished with 16 hits in the victory.
 
Bonham(4-2) picked up the complete game victory, allowing 3 runs. Hank
Behrman(3-2) was tagged with the loss.  He pitched 1 and 2/3 innings and
surrendered 5 hits and 3 walks.
 
'I was in my hotel room the other night, working on my swing and made some
adjustments,' Kiner said. 'I'm always working on it. If they are getting you
out certain ways, you've got to make changes.'

1949 AL Standings at the All Star break

July 11, 1949

 The New York Yankees are still in 1st place in the AL as MLB breaks for the All Star Game in Brooklyn tomorrow. My Detroit Tigers have gotten hot in July and are sorry to see a pause in the regular season come right now. The Cleveland Indians and Boston Red Sox continue to keep the New Yorkers in their sights with good steady play.

1949 AL Game: Was. @ NY

July 8, 1949

 Due to injury, New York's Joe DiMaggio's 1949 season didn't begin until June 28th. Since coming back, DiMaggio has been red hot and today's game was one for the ages. In a slugfest against the Washington Senators, DiMaggio belted 3 homeruns and drove in 10. His last homer was a 3-run walk off blast in the bottom of the 9th giving New York a 15-12 victory.

Joe Dimaggio slammed 3 homeruns and had 10 RBI at Yankee Stadium as the
powerful New York Yankees pulled off a dramatic comeback beating the slumping
Washington Senators by the count of 15 to 12.
 
New York scored the decisive runs in a big 9th inning scoring 4 runners on 3
hits.  The key at-bat was by Dimaggio who made the New York fans a happy lot
when he belted a three-run homer.  New York kept the scorekeepers busy in the
1st inning which saw them score 5 runs on 4 hits, the 6th inning when they
had 4 runs on 5 hits and the 9th inning which saw them plate 4 runs on 3
hits.  Overall New York out-hit Washington 19 to 10.  
 
Joe Page(5-4) got credit for the victory, pitching 2 and 2/3 innings and
allowing 7 runs. Mickey Haefner(4-7) absorbed the loss in relief.  
 
'We just wouldn't give up,' Dimaggio said. 'Much of the credit goes to our
fans - they were with us the whole way.'

1949 AL Game: Det. @ St. Louis

July 6, 1949

  Detroit's Virgil Trucks threw his 3rd shutout in a row as the Tigers defeated the St. Louis Browns 7-0 tonight. Trucks actually carried a no-hitter into the 8th inning but lost that bid when pinch-hitter Whitey Platt singled leading off the inning. Virgil ended up with a 1 hit shutout, his 4th shutout of the season, and has now pitched 30 scoreless innings in a row.
