Grays Walk It Off for 31st Win of Season
In a low-scoring clash between Oakland and Los Angeles, pitcher Whitey Reynolds was a difference-maker. The right-hander earned accolades in the 2-1 win. Oakland reliever Jack Goff picked up the win to move to 6-2. Karl Wallace suffered the loss. The win for the Grays lifted their record to 31-19.

The Grays procured the win, in large part because of shortstop Hank Grant. In the bottom of the 11th, he produced the game-winning run-scoring double.

"Whitey did a tremendous job," said Oakland manager Bill Hunter.
