Notes & reviews
- with this game meaningless, Red Sox manager Lou Boudreau gave George Schmees, an outfielder, a chance in his attempt to convert to a pitcher
- Joe DeMaestri's grounder deflected off of George Schmees' hand
- George Schmees left with hand injury
- Clint Courtney struck on the hand by a foul ball
