Two "firsts" marked the Brewers' 2-0 victory over the Senators. Johnny Briggs, coming up after a pass to Tommy Harper in the opening frame, hit his first A. L. homer to account for the Brewers' runs. Bill Parsons took it from there and pitched his first major league shutout, allowing only three hits. [The Sporting News]
