Baltimore 13 Toronto
8 – Babe Ruth Relief Pitcher – 5 Innings – No Decision – 0 for 1 at bat Scored
Starting
Orioles pitcher Danforth, couldn’t get anyone out in the first inning giving up
6 runs on 6 hits and a walk. Relieved by
Davidson, the Maple Leafs added a seventh run before the Orioles had their turn
at the plate. But the Orioles came back
with three runs in the first, three runs in the second and three runs in the
third to take a 9-7 lead. With two men
on and no out in the fifth inning, Babe Ruth relieved Davidson. Babe gave up one run, making the score 9-8,
but held the lead after that. The
Orioles scored four more in the fifth to close out the scoring with a 13-8
victory. Babe Ruth faced 14 batters,
gave up 1 run on 3 hits with 4 strike outs and 3 walks. Since he came in while the Orioles were
leading, he should not be credited with a victory. The win gave the Orioles a season record of
42-21.
