Bob Feller took a 4-hit shutout into the 9th, and Babe Ruth and Dick Allen each had two home runs as the New York Swats topped the Detroit Rockets 12-3.

The Swats carried a 6-0 lead into the 8th when they unloaded on reliever Urban Shocker. Allen led off the 9th with another solo homer, as Shocker allowed 4 hits and walked two, capped by Joe DiMaggio’s 1st homer of the season, a 3-run shot that made it 12-0. Meanwhile, Feller kept the Rockets hitless into the 4th. Detroit threatened with a 2-out double by \u00c1lex Rodr\u00edguez in the 8th, but Feller struck out Miguel Cabrera to end the inning. In the 9th, Feller tired, walking Rafael Palmeiro and giving up a single to Mark McGwire before Bobby Veach tripled in the 1st Detroit runs. Feller allowed 3 runs on 7 hits in a strong complete game showing, striking out 12. The loss is the 4th straight for the Rockets, as both teams are tied at 12-15.
