Los Angeles hurler Red Burtch put on quite a show, as he blitzed the Minneapolis Millers with a 7-0 shutout. He baffled them with fastballs and changeups, allowing 4 hits with 9 strikeouts and 1 walk to pick up the win.

"I think every time we were looking for a fastball, he threw a changeup and every time we were looking for a changeup, he threw a fastball," Minneapolis manager Frank Vance told reporters after the game.
