For the 2nd straight game, the 1931 St. Louis Cardinals battered the 1935 Chicago Cubs for 11 runs. This time, Cardinals starter Syl Johnson didn’t allow a Cubs runner to even get into scoring position. Johnson allowed just 6 hits and struck out 2 in his complete game shutout. Meanwhile, the Cardinals offense kept rolling, scoring 9 runs on 14 hits in 7 innings against Lon Warneke, and 2 more runs on relief pitcher Fabian Kowalik. Jim Bottomley was 4 for 5 with 3 doubles and 3 runs scored, and Chick Hafey hit a 3-run homer to lead the Cardinals offense. The Cubs head to St. Louis, where they will try to avoid the sweep.
