Philadelphia leads series 3-1
Finally the Bosox get to see a righty, and not so mysteriously their offense came to life. George Earnshaw (4-4, 3.66) started for the A's and looked solid for 6 innings until the Bosox exploded for 5 runs to put the game away and help salvage a minimal amount of dignity in this series that has been dominated by the boys from the city of Brotherly love. Bobby Doerr's 2 run homer in the 4th tied the game at 2. Philly actually took a lead in the 6th, when Mule Haas squeezed home Dib Williams. That would be the final run that Boston starter Mel Parnell would yield
on the day. Thankfully for him Boston's dormant offense was able to support him with 7 runs. Boston's 3 run 8th started when Vern Stephens led off with a walk and was tripled home by Al Zarilla. Birdie Tebbetts doubled Zarilla home and with 2 outs Billy Goodman single Tebbetts home. The 8th saw Boston get two insurance runs thanks to a triple by Doerr and a RBI ground out by Stephens. Boston would need more of this type of offense if they hoped to get back in this series or at least salvage some sort of respectability.
