Mungo strikes out 10 in win over Phillies

It hasn't been a great season for Van Mungo, but he looked every bit the ace he was last year in this one, striking out 10 Phillies hitters in a complete game win.  Mungo's fastball was poppin' as he retired 10 batters in a row at one point.  The Phillies had only 1 extra base hit among their 6 hits total.  Syl Johnson picks up the loss for the Phils.  He went just 2.2 innings, surrendering 6 runs (5 earned).  

The Dodgers scored 6 runs in the 3rd inning.  Mungo, Boyle, and Bucher all reached with singles after 1 was out.  Then, 2 bases loaded walks led to 2 runs.  After a ground out scored another, Tony Cuccinello singled + an error from the left field, scoring 2 more runs.   A wild pitch would lead to the final run of the inning.  

Len Koenecke blasted a 2-run home run in the 5th inning to put the Dodgers up 8-0.  The Phillies would add 3 in the 6th inning after 5 bases reached consecutively.  But it wasn't enough for the Phillies as they end up losing this one.

Around the League: Last night's game at The Polo Grounds set a season record for most runs scored by both teams combined.  The Cubs defeated the Giants in a game that featured 33 combined runs.  The 39 combined hits are another season record.  The Giants scored 8 runs in the very 1st inning only to lose the game, 18-15.  Eight home runs were hit in the game. Arky Vaughan is hitting .462 on the season.  Can he hit .400?  Bill Terry hit .400 in 1930.  We will see if Vaughan can get it done. Three batters hold a 1.000+ OPS this season: Vaughan, Medwick, Ott, and Hack. The Boston Braves have lost 10 games in a row.  They had overachieved in the early on, and now they're 11 games below .500 at 17-28.
