Extractions: American League 1 Baseball had a glamorous new hero Cincinnati lefty Johnny Vander Meer. Never a big winner, he had electrified baseball that summer by pitching back-to-back no-hitters against the Boston Bees and Brooklyn Dodgers. "An unbreakable record, I think," Vander Meer said. "You'd have to pitch three in a row to top it." With the All-Star Game being played in Cincinnati, he drew the start gave up one hit in three innings. The AL starter for the fifth time in six years was Lefty Gomez, who gave up two hits and one unearned run in three innings. The game is memorable, though, for Leo Durocher's bunted home run. Frank McCormick had opened the seventh with a single off Lefty Grove. Durocher, the next batter, was ordered to sacrifice. He did and third baseman Jimmie Foxx charged in, made the scoop and threw the ball into right field. Joe DiMaggio, in right in deference to Earl Averill, raced in, picked up the ball and fired home. That throw sailed over catcher Bill Dickey's head, allowing McCormick to score. Meanwhile Durocher never stopped running until he reached home. Box Score: Americans AB R H RBI
