Tuesday, April 20

Cleveland 6, St. Louis 4

Joe Gordon and Eddie Robinson were involved in almost all of Cleveland's runs in a surprisingly close game. Bob Feller gave up plenty of hits but the Indians' offense overpowered the Browns. Gordon and Robinson started the second with back-to-back hits and scored together on a Ken Keltner single. In the following inning, the pair hit back-to-back homers. The Browns put together a three-run frame in the sixth but could not score again to even it back up.
