Earl Whitehill and Lefty Grove fought to a 0-0 tie through 9 innings before Washington won 3-2 in a crazy 10th. The Senators nearly scored in the 3rd, but a drawn-in infield thew out Buddy Myer at the plate to keep the game scoreless. In the 10th, Grove allowed singles to Heinie Manush and Joe Cronin to put runners on the corners with one out, but once again, gunned down Manush at the plate to stop the run. But this time Joe Kuhel followed with an RBI double to give Washington a lead. Cliff Bolton followed with a 2-run single off Eddie Rommel to make the lead 3-0. Jack Russell came in to relieve Whitehill in the bottom of the 10th when Philadelphia showed some life of their own. Max Bishop lead off with a single, and two batters later Mickey Cochrane hit a 2-run home run to cut the lead to 3-2. Jimmie Foxx doubled with 2 outs to bring up Bing Miller. Miller took the next pitch deep, but Bing Miller made a catch at the wall to save the game for the Senators, as they took Game 1 of the series 3-2. Cochrane was 4 for 5 to push his average over .400 for the Tournament. Grove had another great start, but fell to 1-3. It was Russell’s 5th save.
