Cincinnati Reds vs. Brooklyn Robins
Ebbets Field
Reds Route Rube Marquard; Brooklyn Lead Down to 1.5 Games
The mid-summer battle for first place is at hand. Cincinnati, the defending champions, strike first and advance to victory in game one at Ebbets Field. The Reds promptly plate three runs in the first inning, all unearned after Ivy Olson's failure to properly handle Jake Daubert's grounder to the left side. Edd Roush plates a run and Larry Kopf plates two. Cincinnati pours it on during the middle innings en route to an 8-3 final score. Starter Rube Marquard allows seven runs, four earned, on seven hits and one walk with four strikeouts in only five innings pitched. He incurs his fifth loss of the season against seven wins with a growing 3.34 ERA. Getting a spot start in right field Bernie Neis is 1 for 4 with a triple and two runs batted in. Ed Konetchy drives in his 41st run for the season. A 19-game winner last season for the Reds, starter Dutch Ruether allows three earned runs on eleven hits and four walks with three strikeouts. He improves to 16-7 with a 2.05 earned run average. With Tuesday's opening victory the Reds close to within 1.5 games of the Robins.
- RECORD: 54-40 (.531)
