Things were going well for the Yankees on September 6, 1934.
After scoring the game’s opening run in the top of the second against the White Sox, they broke it open two innings later. Tony Lazzeri brought home two runs in the fourth after a bases-loaded double. That was followed by a George Selkirk single which scored another two. That gave the Yankees a 5-0 cushion.
Red Ruffing had cruised through the first four innings, but Chicago struck back in the fifth. After Ruffing walked the leadoff hitter, Lazzeri made an error on a ground ball two batters later.
