Bronx Bombers right ship and sink A's in series sweep

Yankee Stadium

Game 1: 

Christopher vs Zuber

After 8 games of utter futility and a 1-7 record, the Yankees bats exploded against A's starter Russ Christopher who allows 19 hits and 14 runs (7 earned) in 7 IPs.  Roy Weatherly led the Yanks attack with 4 hits while Joe Gordon and Billy Johnson pitched in with 3 each.  Charlie Keller added 2 hits and 5 RBIs.  The only downer for the Yanks was when SP Bill Zuber went down to injury in the 4th.  Marius Russo and Tommy Byrne combined for 5 1/3 scoreless innings in relief.  Yankees 14 A's 0

Game 2:

Newsom vs Borowy

Johnny Lindell had 3 hits and Charlie Keller smashed his 3rd HR of the year as the Yanks topped the A's once again.  Hank Borowy pitched into the 8th allowing 2 runs.  Bobo Newsom allowed 13 hits and 6 runs.  George Kell had 3 hits for the A's.  Yankees 6 A's 2

Game 3:

Black vs Chandler

The Yankees commit 4 errors and leave 13 runners on base but thanks to a strong CG performance by Spud Chandler win their first series of the year by a hair. Weatherly, Gordon, Johnson, and Nick Etten rap 2 hits each.  Don Black scatters 12 hits over 7 1/3 to take the loss.  Yankees 2 A's 1

Game 4: 

Hamlin vs Bonham

Yankees complete the sweep behind Tiny Bonham's CG 7 hitter.  Snuffy Stirnweiss, Bill Dickey, and Etten have 3 hits while Dickey and Keller crack HRs.  Keller now has 14 RBIs in 12 games. Luke Hamlin went the distance for the A's allowing 17 hits but stranding 12 runners.  Yankees 6 A's 2

A's can extract their revenge quickly as the Yanks now travel into Philly for 4.
