IN THE NEWS: Before 52,832 at Yankee Stadium, Joe DiMaggio leads a sweep of the Red Sox 7-2 and 9­2. The 2nd game is called after 5 innings. DiMaggio has 2 hits in the first game and one in the second to tie Willie Keeler's major-league batting streak of 44 games. The Yankees have 25 hits in the two games but fail to hit a HR in the first game, ending their AL streak of 25 consecutive games with at least one HR. The previous record, set by the Tigers in 1940, was 17 games.
