Game 1 In a one-sided affair at Shibe Park the final score was the Philadelphia A's 11, the Boston AL Red Sox 5.
The Philadelphia fans enjoyed the offense provided by Sam Chapman. He banged out a single in the 2nd inning and smacked a three-run homer in the 5th inning. Boston AL had 13 hits in the game while Philadelphia had 9, but Philadelphia had the more timely hits.
Hank Borowy (13-6) got the win allowing 5 runs in 6 and 2/3 innings. Chuck Stobbs recorded the save, his 2nd. Joe Dobson (9-7) was the losing pitcher. Philadelphia knocked him around a bit, as he gave up 6 runs in 5 innings.
The Philadelphia ballclub's record now stands at 60-46. With this loss, Boston AL has a 4-6 record of late, 59-47 overall. Game 2 The Boston AL Red Sox registered 4 runs in the 6th inning and had an easy time of it at Shibe Park defeating the Philadelphia A's by a score of 10 to 5.
Carl Erskine (4-3) was solid in relief, and he got credit for the win. He allowed just 1 hit and no walks in 1 inning. Boston AL managed 10 hits in their victory.
Erv Palica recorded his 20th save. Dick Fowler (7-9) was given the loss. Boston AL knocked him around a bit, as he gave up 7 runs in 6 and 1/3 innings. Game 3 In a game for the baseball purist, Frank Fanovich (3-5) and Carl Scheib (1-4) squared off in a tense pitching duel, Boston AL Red Sox finally emerged victorious over Philadelphia A's, 4 to 0.
Boston AL jumped on top of Philadelphia in the top of the 3rd inning plating 2 runs. After two outs Johnny Pesky began the Boston AL spurt when he drew a walk. Lou Boudreau came to the plate and lifted one out of the park for a two run home run. Ted Williams then drew a walk. Dom Dimaggio followed next and he drew a walk. That early scoring was all that Fanovich needed. Boston AL managed only 5 hits on the night.
