Following the all-star break, the Yankees travelled to St. Louis for a matchup with the lowly Browns. For the fourth game in a row, DiMaggio secured his needed hit in the first inning, this team singling on a grounder to the hole at shortstop. It was lucky for him that he was able to take care of business so early, as the game was called for rain after the sixth inning, giving the Yankees a 1-0 victory.
