#Baltimore Black Sox
Mike Mussina twirled a masterful 8 innings and Manny Machado drove in 7 with 2 homers as the Black Sox topped the Black Yankees, 9-1. Mussina whiffed a dozen and only surrendered 2 hits while evening his record at 3-3.
#Cleveland Spiders
Firpo Marberry, a decent bullpen option so far for the spiders, will miss about 3 weeks. He heads to the DL and Al Smith was added to the pen from AAA.
#Detroit Wolverines
Bob Bailey went deep twice and drove in 5 as the Wolverines topped Miami, 7-2.
Pete Conway, a pleasant surprise for Detroit so far, will be out about a week with a badly sprained ankle. That warranted a trip to the DL with Claude Passeau being recalled from AAA.
Chili Davis drove in 6 as both he and Hank Greenberg went deep twice in a 15-0 whitewashing of Miami.
#Memphis Red Sox
Shane Bieber will be out about a year with an elbow injury, putting the massive FA signing for Memphis deep on the shelf.
#New York Black Yankees
It may be a little premature, but Red Ruffing‘s arm has looked so live since his return that the Black Yankees went ahead and decided he should replace Jack Scott in the starting rotation.
