The Indians take sole possession of first place with a 9-2 victory over the Browns. Left fielder Dale Mitchell had 5 hits and 3 RBI and Bob Lemon reeled off a total of 10 strikeouts as the Cleveland Indians defeated the St. Louis Browns by a score of 9 to 2 at Sportsman's Park. Lemon(10-5) was in control of the game from the outset. He gave up just 5 hits and 2 walks in 9 innings. Cleveland had 15 hits for the night. Harry Dorish(4-3) was the losing pitcher. He got hit hard, allowing 11 hits and 5 walks in 6 and 2/3 innings. Zach Taylor was impressed with Lemon and his 10 strikeouts. 'It's tough to generate runs if you can't make contact with the ball.'
