Jackson Prevents Joss No-hitter, Twice

Oakland’s Addie Joss put together one of the most dominant pitching performances of the season, holding the Detroit Rockets to two baserunners in a 5-0 shutout. Joss retired the 1st ten batters before Joe Jackson hit a clean single to break up the no-hitter. After retiring 8 more batters, Jackson hit another single. Álex Rodríguez grounded into a double-play, and Joss was clean the rest of the way, striking out only two batters in the game. Bret Saberhagen allowed four straight hits in a 3-run 2nd inning, led by Edgar Martínez’s two-run single. Martínez added an RBI double in the 5th. Jimmie Foxx homered off Saberhagen in the 7th. The solo home run gave Foxx his Maelstrom-leading 47th RBI on the season. The loss ensures that Detroit will not reach .500 this season, after they won the World Series last year. Foxx finished 4 for 4 on the game.
