New York Drops Oakland, 7-4
Mickey Mantle, who is on pace for 101 RBI this season, led New York to a triumph over Oakland. The final score was 7-4. The center fielder went 3 for 5, falling a triple shy of the cycle. He scored 1 run and added 3 RBI. The first-place Yankees lifted their record to 50-33.

The Athletics had been locked in a 1-1 tie with the Yankees going into the top of the sixth inning. That changed quickly when the 25-year old left fielder Babe Ruth came to the plate. Ruth hit a 2-run home run on a full count fastball from Oakland hurler Eddie Plank. It was Ruth's 11th home run of the year.

Mantle told a New York Times reporter that he was "very happy" with the win.
