Red Sox Top Athletics, 11-1, Behind Branca
Memphis Red Sox starter Ralph Branca was in fine form. He led his team to victory over the Kansas City Athletics, 11-1. The first-place Red Sox have won 5 in a row.

Branca dominated for Memphis, raising his record to 15-10. Kansas City hitters had few good at-bats against the right-hander, who scattered 3 hits over 8 innings while striking out 9.

Kansas City manager John Conley called the blowout loss "a real dud."
