Ruth Heroics Not Enough in 7-6 Loss to Memphis
New York got a terrific game from left fielder Babe Ruth. It wasn't enough, though, to prevent the team from falling to Memphis, 7-6. Ruth hit 2 home runs, while adding 3 RBI and scoring twice. At 65-83, Memphis is in last place in the American League Bill James Division.

Memphis took a 7-6 lead on David Ortiz's 31st home run of the season. The 2-run home run, which Ortiz hit in the bottom of the eighth, left New York pitcher Hoyt Wilhelm visibly frustrated.

"Honestly, I'm not frustrated," said New York manager Daniel Makonnen. "The effort was great."
