The hottest pitcher in the majors, Vida Blue posted his seventh straight victory for the Athletics, beating the Tigers, 5-0. The shutout was the fourth of the season for the young southpaw, who had not been defeated since losing the opening game of the season, 8-0, to the Senators April 5. In contrast to Blue's success, Dean Chance suffered his fifth straight defeat as the Tigers' loser.
