A crowd of 5,000 at Shibe Park in Philadelphia witnessed a pair of individual records and a team record set, as the visiting Yankees beat their rivals 20–13 in the fourth game of a six-game series.
The Yankees got on the board immediately in the top of the first inning. After Earle Combs led off the game with a groundout, Jack Saltzgaver walked. Following a Babe Ruth flyout, Lou Gehrig hit his first home run of the game to give the Yankees a 2–0 lead. The lead didn't last long.
Max Bishop led off the home half of the first with a triple to the gap in right-center field.
