Simmons Hits 2 home runs in Athletics Win
Oakland and New York duked it out and the Athletics came out victorious.

The 10-7 Oakland win over New York was due in large part to Al Simmons. The Athletics center fielder went 4-5 with 2 home runs and 2 singles, while adding 6 RBI and scoring twice. Dennis Eckersley saved it for Oakland.

The game was at a stalemate until first baseman Jimmie Foxx came to bat in the top of the eighth. Facing New York pitcher Rich Gossage, he hit a 0-1 fastball for a run-scoring single. It was a game-changer, putting Oakland on top, 8-7.

"We swung the bats good throughout the lineup," said Oakland skipper .

The second-place Athletics bumped their record to 64-60.
