New York (AL) (H) 5 Cleveland 0

 

Jack Quinn (4-2, 2.96) went all the way for the shutout victory, but his most impressive feat of the day was giving up three triples to Cleveland second baseman Neal Ball, all with less than two outs, and leaving Ball stranded at third base each time to preserve the shutout.

 

Philadelphia (AL) (H) 6 St. Louis (AL) 2

 

Jack Coombs (13-3, 2.06) didn’t allow any runs until the eighth inning and went all the way for the win. A's lead-off left fielder Bris Lord went 3-for-5 on the day and scored two runs.

The White Sox are still playing with a mishmash lineup but they scored enough to allow Doc White (7-3, 2.82) to get the win.

 

Boston (NL) 9 Chicago (NL) (H) 1

 

The Rustlers exploded for six runs in the top of the ninth to blow open a close game and to secure the win for Buster Brown (4-8, 5.44). Brown limited the Cubs to only three hits and the one unearned run.

 

Red Ames

Cincinnati (H) 2 New York (NL) 1

 

Giants starter Red Ames (3-3, 3.25) only allowed two hits on the day, both in the eighth inning, but the second was a two-run double off the bat of Reds catcher Tommy Clarke. Bobby Keefe (2-5, 4.54) held off a New York rally attempt in the top of the ninth to get the complete-game win.

 

Pittsburgh (H) 5 Brooklyn 1

 

Brooklyn first baseman Jake Daubert hit a homerun in the top of the first but Howie Camnitz (7-2, 2.23) didn't allow any more Dodgers runs after that and picked up the win when the Pirates came back, regained the lead, and then built on from there. Pittsburgh right fielder Chief Wilson led to the comeback with a two-run homerun (#11) and three RBI's (56).

 

Philadelphia (NL) 6 St. Louis (NL) (H) 3

 

This was a close one all the way as neither team could pull away, at least until the top of the ninth when Phillies left fielder Sherry Magee clubbed a three-run homerun to give Pete Alexander (11-2, 2.95) the cushion he needed.

New York (AL) (H) 13 Cleveland 12

 

The Naps scored three runs in both the first and second innings but only came out of the second with a 6-4 lead as the Highlanders refused to go away. Both teams kept up the scoring, with Cleveland holding on to their slim lead until New York scored three times in the seventh and then took their first lead of the day with a three-run eighth and then held on for the win. Joe Jackson didn’t start but was forced into the games because of injuries and Jackson came through with a 3-for-4 day that included three RBI's and two triples.

 

Philadelphia (AL) (H) 1 St. Louis (AL) 0

 

Frank Baker tripled home Bris Lord in the bottom of the sixth and Eddie Plank (8-3, 2.94) outdueled Joe Lake (4-7, 5.04) for the tough home win.

 

Chicago (NL) (H) 5 Boston (NL) 4 (11)

 

The Cubs scored three times in the first and led 4-0 after the second and starter Lew Richie didn't allow a hit until the top of the sixth, but that hit was part of a three-run Rustlers outburst. The score stayed at 4-3 until Mordecai Brown relieved Richie in the ninth and promptly gave up a solo homerun the right fielder Patsy Flaherty to tie the score at 4-4. In the bottom of the eleventh, second baseman Heinie Zimmerman hit a bases-loaded single to give the Cubs the win.

 

Note: BBR has Boston outfielder Patsy Flaherty in center field and Doc Miller in right field while ATMgr has them reversed.

 

New York (NL) 3 Cincinnati (H) 1

 

Cincinnati starter Art Fromme (2-7, 4.99) gave up ten hits and eight walks but kept the powerful Giants from getting the big hit that would have blown the game open. Christy Mathewson (11-3, 2.51) didn't give up any walks and scattered five hits for the surprisingly close win.

 

Note: BBR shows Fred Beck in center field for Cincinnati while ATMgr has Johnny Bates.

Sherry Magee

St. Louis (NL) (H) 9 Philadelphia (NL) 1

 

The Cardinals scored twice in the first and then put up a five-spot in the fourth to blow the game open. Roy Golden (3-10, 5.71) has been a weak point in the St. Louis rotation so far but he didn’t give up a run until the ninth inning when Sherry Magee took him deep.

Cleveland 5 Boston (AL) (H) 3

 

The Indians scored three times in the seventh to take a 5-0 lead, all of which was necessary as the Red Sox mounted a furious comeback, but it was too little too late. Boston pitcher Willie Mitchell was ejected in the third for hitting and injuring opposing pitcher Ed Karger, causing tensions to run high, but no further scuffles occurred.

 

Detroit 3 New York (AL) (H) 2

 

The Highlanders scored twice in the first but Jack Lively (3-6, 6.38) shut them down afterward and the Tigers rallied for three in the sixth to take the lead and hold on for the victory.

 

Philadelphia (AL) (H) 3 Chicago (AL) 2

 

The A's bunched their hits early and scored three times in the first. Chief Bender (5-1, 1.46) shut out the White Sox until two outs in the ninth and worked his way out of a late-inning rally attempt by the visitors.

 

Washington (H) 7 St. Louis (AL) 2

 

The Browns led 2-1 after the top of the second but Walter Johnson (9-2, 1.38) stiffened from there and held the visitors scoreless thereafter, allowing the Senators to come back and win this one going away.

 

 Pittsburgh (H) 12 Boston (NL) 7

 

The Rustlers led early but that didn’t last long as the Pirates lumbered up and blasted the Boston pitchers for seventeen hits. Honus Wagner went 4-for-5 (.387) on the day and drove in five runs to spark the Pirates.

Cleveland 2 Boston (AL) (H) 1 (13)

 

Fred Blanding (5-4, 4.94) went all the way to outlast Smoky Joe Wood (9-3, 2.03) in an extra-inning thriller. Left fielder Jack Graney came through with a sacrifice fly in the thirteenth and Blanding finished the bottom half of the inning in a 1-2-3 fashion.

 

Detroit 10 New York (AL) (H) 6

 

The Tigers won their fourth in a row as they scored five times in the fifth and then continued to build on that lead for the easy win. George Mullin (8-6, 3.13) didn’t have his best stuff today but stuck it out and came away with the victory.

 

Washington (H) 6 St. Louis (AL) 3

 

The Senators saved most of their offensive for a late rally when they scored five runs in the eighth inning. Tom Hughes (1-8, 5.04) only made one mistake, a three-run homerun to Brown's third baseman Jimmy Austin, but was otherwise in control all the way.

 

Philadelphia (NL) 4 Chicago (NL) (H) 2

 

Sloppy outfield play resulted in most of the runs in this game as Bill Burns (2-3, 4.47) bested Mordecai Brown (8-7, 2.40). Brown could have a much better record but the support behind him has often been spotty at best.

 

Cincinnati (H) 6 Brooklyn 5

 

The Dodgers came into the game with a seven-game losing streak and were hoping to get healthy against the last-place Reds, but they got off to a poor start and were losing 4-2 after the seventh inning. In the eighth Zack Wheat smacked a three-run homerun to give the visitors the temporary lead, but they couldn’t hold it and the Reds came back for the home win.

 

Boston (NL) 5 Pittsburgh (H) 4

 

A two-run double by Boston shortstop Buck Herzog sparked a four-run fifth and Orlie Weaver (2-3, 5.48) held off a late comeback attempt to gather the win. Boston second baseman Bill Sweeney , who has played in fifty games, extended his on-base streak to 47 games.

 

St. Louis (NL) (H) 5 New York (NL) 3

 

The Giants led 3-0 after the fourth but the Cardinals hung tough and then scored four times in the seventh to take the lead and eventually the win. The big play of the fateful seventh was a passed ball that couldn’t be corralled, letting two runs cross the plate to tie the score. Slim Sallee (10-3, 2.13) got the win.

 

Note: BBR shows Wally Smith starting at shortstop for St. Louis while ATMgr has Arnold Hauser.

Cleveland 3 Boston (AL) (H) 2 (10)

 

Just like in his first start, Cy Young (2-0, 1.42) gave up his runs in the first and then shut down the opposition afterward, and, again, as in his first start, his teammates came back to capture the win for him. Left fielder Jack Graney had the big day for Cleveland with two RBI's, including the one in the tenth that was the eventual game-winner.

 

Chicago (AL) 6 Philadelphia (AL) (H) 5 (10)

 

Chicago went ahead early, then fell behind, then rallied to tie the score at 5-5, the game eventually moving into extra innings. Ping Bodie got the key hit in the tenth that put the White Sox ahead to stay.

 

St. Louis (AL) 12 Washington (H) 5

 

The Browns scored three times in the second and then immediately added four more in the third to build an early lead and then run away with the win. Barney Pelty (3-6, 4.70) let up in the later innings and Washington finally scored, but it was too little too late. St. Louis first baseman Dave Rowan had the big day at the plate for the visitors by going 4-for-5 with three runs scored and two RBI's.

 

Chicago (NL) (H) 3 Philadelphia (NL) 0

 

Ed Reulbach (3-3, 3.90) held the Phillies to three hits and went all the way for the shutout victory.

 

Boston (NL) 6 Pittsburgh (H) 4

 

The Rustlers led 3-1 after the fifth, the Pirates scored once in the seventh to make it close and then hit two sacrifice flies in the eighth to take the lead. Boston wasn't done though and the struggling Rustlers put together a three-run ninth to grab the win. Buster Brown (5-8, 5.20) got the win and Hank Griffin pitched a 1-2-3 ninth.

 

New York (NL) 11 St. Louis (NL) (H) 7

 

Both teams each scored three times in the first and the score was tied at 6-6 after the fourth, and then the excitement started. The Giants scored five times in the top of the fifth, and immediately a beanball war broke out as both teams had pitchers ejected. Center fielder Fred Snodgrass went 3-for-5 with three runs scored and three RBI's and first baseman Fred Merkle had four RBI's on the day to lead the New York offense.

Boston (AL) (H) 3 Cleveland 1

 

Both teams scored single runs in the first and then the Red Sox came up late with the key runs to gain the doubleheader split and end Boston's six-game losing streak. Ed Karger (5-4, 3.53) held the Naps to three hits to get the victory.

 

Detroit 13 New York (AL) (H) 0

The Phillies exploded for three runs in the third and then added five more in the fifth to roll to an easy win for Pete Alexander (12-2, 2.95). Third baseman Hans Lobert had a 3-for-5 day with two runs, an RBI, and two doubles to lead the Philadelphia offense.

 

Brooklyn 7 Cincinnati (H) 2

Cleveland (H) 9 St. Louis (AL) 8 (14)

 

Cleveland woke up this morning to find themselves in fifth place as Detroit's five-game winning streak has placed them percentage above the Naps. Looking to regain their advantage Cleveland built a big early lead and looked to be cruising towards an easy win, but then Naps starter Bill James walked the first three batters he faced in the ninth, and when the dust cleared the Browns had scored five runs and tied the score at 8-8. Finally, in the bottom of the fourteenth, center fielder Joe Birmingham singled home Ted Easterly with the game-winner.

 

Detroit (H) 22 Chicago (AL) 4

 

The White Sox scored four times in the top of the first but it was all Detroit after that as the Tigers also scored four times in the first and led 9-4 after the fourth, and then the Tigers added a ten-spot in the fifth to put this one away. Ed Summers (3-0, 1.61) not only went all the way for the win but went 4-for-5 on the day with two runs scored, had four RBI's, and hit a double and a triple in the fateful fifth inning ten-run outburst.

 

Philadelphia (NL) 1 Chicago (NL) (H) 0 (10)

 

In a game that featured a pair of two-hitters, it was Bill Burns (3-3, 3.67) who outdueled King Cole (4-1, 1.55). The Phillies' second hit of the game was a solo homerun by left fielder Sherry Magee in the top of the tenth.

 

Cincinnati (H) 4 Brooklyn 1

 

The Reds bunched their hits in the third inning and scored three runs and Bobby Keefe (3-5, 4.13) took over from there, scattering five hits and defeating Nap Rucker (9-1, 2.17) and the Dodgers.

 

New York (NL) 10 St. Louis (NL) (H) 0

 

Hooks Wiltse (4-3, 4.01) handcuffed the Cardinals on only four hits and went all the way for the shutout victory. The Giants locked this one away with a five-run fourth and then Fred Merkle added a three-run homerun in the sixth to add an exclamation point.
