Bill McKechnie became the second manager to lead two different teams to the World Series, and like Pat Moran before him, won one and lost one.

Ruth lashed another double in the fourth and scored ahead of Bob Meusel's home run, one of only four hits off Sherdel in his seven innings.

Consecutive singles by Mark Koenig, Ruth and Gehrig-for his second RBI-against Cards reliever Syl Johnson gave the Yankees the 4th run and a 1–0 series lead.

George Harper walked, Jimmie Wilson doubled, Rabbit Maranville singled, and Grover Cleveland Alexander reached on second baseman Tony Lazzeri's errant throw.

Gehrig, having homered earlier (in the first inning to give the Yankees a 3–0 lead), drew a walk, and Meusel drove in a run with a double.

They put up a 2–0 score in the 1st inning on singles by Andy High and Frankie Frisch, followed by a line drive that center fielder Cedric Durst couldn't catch, giving Jim Bottomley a 2-run double.

[6] The only other St. Louis run came in the 5th inning, when Taylor Douthit was hit by a pitch and scored to make it a 3–3 game on High's double.

In the fourth inning, Ruth laced a single and Gehrig followed with a hard line drive that skipped over the head of charging fielder Douthit.

So NL plate umpire Cy Pfirman called "no pitch", causing a vociferous argument with the Cardinals.

Gehrig's ensuing back-to-back home run, his fourth of the Series, gave the Yanks a lead they never relinquished.

[Note 1] St. Louis scored a lone run in the bottom of the ninth to make it 7–3, but that was their last, as future Hall of Famer Frankie Frisch hit a left field foul fly caught on the run by none other than the Babe Ruth up against the stands,[8] as angry Cardinal fans swatted him with newspapers and programs.

But Ruth merely kept running right into the dugout, holding the ball in the air and giving the Yankees their second straight World Series sweep.
