 6/14/1929 Detroit Tigers (27-29) at New York Yankees (25-24) Teams           1  2  3  4  5  6  7  8  9              R  H  E ---------           -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- --               -- -- -- Tigers            2  4  0  0  0  4  0  1  0             11 15  0 Yankees       0  0  0  0  0  0  2  0  1              3  6  1 Charlie Gehringer (DET) The Yankees are on full tilt, dropping their 6th straight game today in the Bronx.  Charlie Gehringer led the Tigers charge, smacking 2 home runs (his third and fourth of the season) and knocking in 4 runs.  Gehringer has been hot of late, now hitting .315 for the season and bringing his RBI total for the year up to 31.  The Tigers have flirted with making a run toward the top half of the American League standings all season and with today's victory they have won four straight and are only two games under .500. The Yankees, on the other hand, have lost 6 straight and badly need the bat of Babe Ruth to return to the lineup.

 6/11/1929 New York Giants (31-15) at Cincinnati Reds (22-27) Teams           1  2  3  4  5  6  7  8  9         R  H  E --------           -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- --            -- -- -- Giants         0  0  0  0  0  0  0  1  0          1  6  2 Reds            0  2  0  2  1  2  0  0  x          7 10  1 Eppa Rixey (CIN) Reds pitcher Eppa Rixey did enough today, both on the mound and at the plate, to beat the first-place New York Giants by himself - he pitched a complete game, giving up 1 run and 6 hits, while going 3-4 at the plate and driving in 3 runs.  While the Reds remain 10.5 games behind the Giants in the National League, Cincinnati has steadily been improving over the last few weeks, pulling themselves well clear of the NL cellar and sitting near the middle of the pack. With the win today, Rixey moves to 3-1 with a 4.25 ERA for the season.

 6/11/1929 Chicago White Sox (22-30) at Philadelphia Athletics (31-15) Teams             1  2  3  4  5  6  7  8  9         R  H  E -----------         -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- --          -- -- -- White Sox     0  2  0  0  0  1  0  1  0         4  9  2 Athletics       3  9  0  0  4  0  0  0  x        16 16  2 Jimmie Foxx (PHA) The Philadelphia Athletics are clearly the class of the American League and Al Simmons appears to be the best player on this A's team...unless Jimmie Foxx keeps up performances like these.  Today at Shibe Park, the A's absolutely obliterated the White Sox, winning 16-4 and pushing their record to 31-15.  The A's now lead the second-place St. Louis Browns by 4 games.  Foxx, meanwhile, appears to be making his own push to unseat Al Simmons (and even Bing Miller for that matter) for an American League MVP.  Foxx went 2-5, but both of those hits were three-run home runs.  With his 2 home runs and 6 RBI, his season totals have risen to 16 and 46, respective
