Boston
(AL) (H) 10 St. Louis (AL) 2 (GM 1)
The
Red Sox put up seven runs in the bottom of the fifth as Browns starter Roy
Mitchell (3-5, 5.04) was unable to get that elusive third out. Ray Collins
(9-5, 2.80) went all the way for the Game One win.
Boston
(AL) (H) 5 St. Louis (AL) 3 (GM 2)
The
Browns went ahead early but had two runners thrown out at home trying to extend
their lead and it mattered because the Red Sox slowly came back and regained
the lead and got the doubleheader sweep. Backup catcher Rip
Williams had three RBI's and shortstop Steve
Yerkes scored three runs to support Larry Pape
(8-5, 3.22).
Chicago
(AL) 4 New York (AL) (H) 2
The
White Sox scored twice in the third and then twice again in the fourth and Doc White
(10-8, 3.89) had what he needed to get the win. White chipped in with two hits,
a run scored and an RBI to help his own cause.
Philadelphia
(AL) (H) 6 Detroit 5
The
A's took an early 4-0 lead but the Tigers fought their way back to take a 5-4
lead after the eighth, a three-run double from Ty Cobb
(98 RBI's) being the big hit. With two outs in the ninth the A's scored the
tying run and then Detroit right fielder Sam
Crawford muffed a fly ball to right, allowing the winning run to scoot home
with the game-winner.
Washington
(H) 8 Cleveland 7 (10)
The
Senators scored four times in the bottom of the third to take a 6-1 lead, and
with Walter
Johnson (18-5, 2.00) on the mound this usually became an automatic win,
but not today as the Naps whittled away at that lead until they tied the score at 7-7 in the top
of the eighth. In the tenth, Washington catcher Gabby
Street rolled a single into right to score the winning run in from third
base and to get Johnson the win.
Philadelphia
(NL) 5 Chicago (NL) (H) 3
The
wind was blowing out at the West Side Grounds today as the Phillies hit two
homeruns and the Cubs hit one, but Philadelphia first baseman Fred
Luderus got the last one, a two-run shot in the three-run sixth to put the
visitors ahead to stay. Pete
Alexander (20-6, 2.94) became the first NL pitcher to reach the twenty wins
mark.
Cincinnati
(H) 8 Brooklyn 4
The
Dodgers took a quick 3-0 lead but then Reds scored six runs in the bottom of
the second, all runs scoring before any outs were recorded. Bobby Keefe
(9-8, 3.30) was hurt by his own wildness and some poor defense behind him in
those early innings, but he settled down and went all the way for the win.
Boston
(NL) 7 Pittsburgh (H) 6
The
Rustlers scored five times in the top of the fifth and then held off the
Pirates for the tough road win. Pittsburgh had the tying run on third in the
ninth but completed a successful squeeze that would have tied the game, allowing
Hank
Griffin (3-1, 5.23) to get the win with help from Al Mattern
who closed it out.
New
York (NL) 7 St. Louis (NL) (H) 1
Rube
Marquard (10-4, 2.34) went all the way as he scattered seven Cardinals
hits. New York shortstop Art
Fletcher went 4-for-5 with two runs scored, an RBI, and two doubles to
spark the Giants offense.

(AL) (H) 5 St. Louis (AL) 2
The
Browns scored first with a run in the first and second innings, but the Red Sox
responded with three in the fourth and then added on from there. Ed Karger
(9-5, 3.37) pitched well with help from Eddie
Cicotte to close out the game.
Chicago
(AL) 3 New York (AL) (H) 2 (10) (GM 1)
Ray
Caldwell (7-7, 3.20) took a shutout into the ninth inning when, with two
outs, a controversial call allowed Matty
McIntyre to walk to first, then Ping Bodie
doubled him home, and then Rollie
Zeider singled home Bodie, and just like the shutout and the lead were both
lost. In the top of the tenth Ed Walsh
(12-9, 2.16) singled, worked his way around to third base, and then scored the
eventual winning run on a sacrifice fly off the bat of McIntyre.
New
York (AL) (H) 6 Chicago (AL) 4 (GM 2)
This
time the late innings heroics went in New York's favor as they scored three
times in the bottom of the eighth to secure the win for Russ Ford
(14-6, 1.94).
Philadelphia
(AL) (H) 9 Detroit 2
The
Tigers tied the score at 2-2 in the top of the fifth, both runs scoring on wild
pitches. Jack
Coombs (22-5, 2.29) settled down after that and the A's rolled to an easy
win as Coombs's designated catcher Jack Lapp
had a 3-for-4 day with a run scored, three RBI's, and a double.
Washington
(H) 4 Cleveland 1
Naps
hurler Vean
Gregg (13-6, 2.60) allowed only one hit in the first six innings but in the
seventh left fielder Tilly Walker had a two-run single and then catcher Gabby
Street added a two-run double, and Washington had the lead for good. Tom
Hughes (6-11, 3.58) got the win in a well-pitched game.
Boston
(NL) 8 Pittsburgh (H) 7
The
two teams matched each other with two and three-run innings early until the
score was tied at 7-7 after the sixth, but then the Rustlers took the lead for
good in the seventh and Al Mattern
(5-12, 5.48) kept the Pirates off the scoreboard in the final three innings of
the game to pick up the win.

| Tris Speaker |
The Tigers outhit the Red Sox 10-7 but Boston got the hits when they needed them, especially when center fielder Tris Speaker hit a two-out three-run triple in the third inning to give the home team a lead they would not lose. Smoky Joe Wood (16-8, 2.37) went all the way for the Game One win.
Boston
(AL) (H) 5 Detroit 4 (GM 2)
Pitchers
from both teams walked home a run and both teams also had a successful squeeze
play, but in the bottom of the ninth Tris
Speaker lined a pitch off the outfield wall to score Harry
Hooper with the game-winner and the doubleheader sweep.
New
York (AL) (H) 5 Cleveland 3
Cleveland
led 2-1 after the first and there the score stayed until the bottom of the
eighth when the Highlanders exploded for four runs, the big hit being a two-out
three-run homerun off the bat of backup outfielder Charlie
Hemphill.
Note:
Cleveland became the first team to reach the 100 games played mark
Philadelphia
(AL) (H) 2 St. Louis (AL) 1
Both
teams scored a single run in the first and then in the bottom of the eighth
second baseman Eddie
Collins dribbled a ball past shortstop to bring home catcher Ira Thomas
with the eventual winning run. Chief
Bender (11-3, 1.40) went all the way for the tough home win.
Chicago
(AL) 6 Washington (H) 2 (GM 1)
Charlie
Becker (0-1, 6.00) made his major league debut today and generally handled
himself well, but the White Sox got ahead early and then built on from there. Jim Scott
(6-6, 2.35) struck out ten (Becker struck out nine) and got the Game One win.
Chicago
(AL) 6 Washington (H) 5 (GM 2)
Quite
an exciting ending as the Senators scored twice in the bottom of the eighth to
take a 5-4 lead, only to see the White Sox turn around and score twice in the
top of the ninth to regain the lead, both Chicago runs coming with two outs. Joe Hovlik
(2-1, 6.06) got the win over Bob Groom
(9-12, 4.55).
Brooklyn
5 Chicago (NL) (H) 0
Nap Rucker
(15-4, 2.16) only allowed only five hits and shut out the hometown Cubs. First
baseman Jake
Daubert went 4-for-5, scored a run, and drove in two to spark the Dodgers
offense.
Note:
The Cubs became the final team to reach the 90 games played mark.
Pittsburgh
(H) 5 New York (NL) 1
The
Giants started the day in second place, 5.5 games behind the first-place
Pirates. There is still plenty of time for them to make up that ground if they
are going to, but with their next three games in Pittsburgh, they would like to
start the comeback right now. Pittsburgh second baseman Dots Miller
hit a two-out two-run triple in the bottom of the first and Babe Adams
(17-5, 2.38) scattered four hits to defeat Christy
Mathewson (19-8, 2.87).
St.
Louis (NL) (H) 5 Boston (NL) 4
The
Rustlers scored four times in the top of the third to take a 4-2 lead, but by
the end of the sixth the Cardinals had tied the score at 4-4. In the bottom of
the eighth third baseman Mike Mowrey
put St. Louis ahead when he doubled, advanced to third on an infield out, and
then scampered home with the eventual game-winner on a wild pitch.

Right fielder Harry
Hooper went 5-for-5 with two runs scored and two doubles to lead the Red
Sox offense.
Cleveland
15 New York (AL) (H) 0 (Grand Slam!)
The
Naps already led 8-0 when they exploded for seven runs in the top of the ninth,
the big hit being a Grand Slam by left fielder Jack Graney.
George
Kahler (5-3, 3.47) got the shutout victory only allowing five hits.
Chicago
(NL) (H) 6 Brooklyn 3
Lew Richie
(11-7, 3.15) followed up his no-hitter by starting the game with three more
no-hit innings, eventually allowing five hits and three runs, but went all the
way for the win.
Philadelphia
(NL) 16 Cincinnati (H) 1
The
Phillies started scoring early and then had trouble not scoring as they wished
they could maybe save some of these runs for use in future games. Every
Philadelphia player had at least one hit and one RBI, and only one did not have
an RBI. Second baseman Otto Knabe,
shortstop Mickey
Doolin, and right fielder Fred Beck
all had four hits.

| Oscar Stanage |
The
Tigers scored five times in the third and then added four more runs in the
fourth to blow this game open and to create a big lead for George
Mullin (10-9, 2.95). Catcher Oscar
Stanage had a 4-for-4 day with four RBI's, three of those RBI's coming on a
three-run double in the five-run third.
Note:
This loss ended Boston's ten-game winning streak. During this time the first-place A's went 9-1, so the Red Sox really didn't gain any ground on the
leaders, but they did start the day with an 11.5 game lead over third-place
Chicago.
Cleveland
10 New York (AL) (H) 4
Cleveland
led 4-3 after the completion of the sixth inning but then a six-run seventh
decided this one. Joe Jackson
went 4-for-5 to get his average back over .500 (.501), he hit double #52, and
he now has 198 hits for the season.
Philadelphia
(AL) (H) 2 St. Louis (AL) 1 (GM 1)
Philadelphia
starter Eddie
Plank (13-6, 2.55) sacrificed home the first run of the game in the bottom
of the eighth to get the A's the lead. They quickly added a second run, which
came in handy as St. Louis finally scored with two outs in the top of the ninth,
but it was too little too late as Plank immediately got the third out after
that to end the game.
Philadelphia
(AL) (H) 12 St. Louis (AL) 7 (GM 2)
The
Browns scored first with two in the top of the first, but the A's answered with
three in the bottom half of the inning and then they added four more in the
second. Frank
"Home Run" Baker led the Philadelphia offense by going 5-for-5
with two runs scored, five RBI's, a double, and a homerun.
Chicago
(AL) 3 Washington (H) 2 (GM 1)
White
Sox shortstop Lee
Tannehill's two-run single in the top of the second put the visitors ahead
to stay, but this game went down right to the end. Doc White
(11-8, 3.73) drove in Chicago's third run of the game in the fifth, which was
necessary as the Senators scored a run in the bottom of the ninth, but White
escaped with no further damage.
Chicago
(AL) 6 Washington (H) 0 (GM 2)
Ed Walsh
(13-9, 2.06) scattered five hits and shut out the Senators for the Game Two win
and the doubleheader sweep. Just two days ago seventh-place Washington was 2.0
game behind the fifth-place Chicago, but the White Sox asserted themselves at
the right time and swept two consecutive doubleheaders.
Pittsburgh
(H) 5 New York (NL) 0
The
Pirates continued to bedevil the Giants as Howie
Camnitz (14-5, 2.62) held New York to only five hits on the way to a
complete-game shutout. Honus
Wagner and George
Gibson both had two-run singles, both players coming through when their
team really needed them.

Washington catcher John Henry was injured (?) on 08/04/1911
Boston (AL) catcher Red Kleinow made his final team appearance on 06/26/1911. Boston (AL) released Kleinow on 08/11/1911 after Kleinow refused a demotion to Jersey City

Chicago (AL) infielder Rollie Zeider was injured (?) on 08/04/1911
Detroit
6 Boston (AL) (H) 5
Another
close one as third baseman George
Moriarty's two-run double in the top of the eighth regained the lead for
the Tigers and Ed Willett
(10-5, 3.38) held on from there for the complete-game victory.
New
York (AL) (H) 1 Cleveland 0
In
a classic pitcher's duel, it was Russ Ford
(15-6, 1.85) who came out on top over Vean Gregg
(13-7, 2.55) when shortstop John Knight's sacrifice fly in the bottom of the
fourth accounted for the game's only run.
Philadelphia
(AL) (H) 3 St. Louis (AL) 0
Jack Coombs
(23-5, 2.22) threw a three-hit shutout as the A's defeated the overmatched
Browns. Coombs also drove in two of the three Philadelphia runs.
Washington
(H) 11 Chicago (AL) 8
Washington
scored three times in the first, Chicago came back with four in the second, but
then the Senators came back with four runs of their own in the second and they
ran away with it from there, although the White Sox scored single runs in each
of the last four innings to make it close. Second baseman Kid
Elberfeld was HBP (#29) and had to be taken out, so his replacement, Bill
Cunningham, proceeded to have a 4-for-4 day, scored four runs, and have four
RBI's.
Chicago
(NL) (H) 7 Brooklyn 4
Ed Ruelbach
(7-7, 3.44) was cruising along with a 4-0 lead and was looking for the shutout
when the Dodgers suddenly rose up and tied the score at 4-4 with a four-run
seventh (all unearned). The Cubs stormed back with a three-run eighth and Mordecai
Brown came in and secured the win in the ninth.
Pittsburgh
(H) 2 New York (NL) 1
Pittsburgh
completed its three-game sweep at home versus the New York Giants as both teams
scored a single run in the first but then the Pirates took the lead for good in
the seventh when Chief
Wilson singled home Dots Miller.
Lefty
Leifield (17-7, 3.08) outlasted Rube
Marquard (10-5, 2.34) for the win.
Boston
(NL) 4 St. Louis (NL) (H) 2
Both
teams scrambled their lineup a bit, but it was the Rustlers who came back from
an early 2-1 deficit to regain the lead and come away with the win. Lefty Tyler
(4-6, 6.84) bested Bob Harmon
(10-14, 3.40) for the tough road victory.

Chicago
(NL) (H) 3 Brooklyn 2
The
Cubs led 3-0 after the second, but then Dodgers kept it close by scoring twice
in the third, and there the score stayed as King Cole
(8-4, 2.48) won out over Cy Barger
(9-12, 3.95). The Cubs only had four hits while the Dodgers had six.
 |
| Pat Moran |
Pete Alexander
(21-6, 2.91) won in a pitcher's duel versus George
Suggs (9-9, 3.96) as a sacrifice fly in the sixth off the bat of catcher Pat Moran
broke the 2-2 tie.
Cincinnati
(H) 4 Philadelphia (NL) 2 (GM 2)
Another
tight one as both teams ended with four hits, but it was the Reds who plated a
run in the sixth to tie the score at 2-2 and then took the lead in the seventh
when catcher Tommy
Clarke knocked a two-run single. Bobby Keefe
(10-8, 3.12) came away with the Game Two victory over Earl Moore
(7-17, 4.79).
St.
Louis (NL) (H) 8 Boston (NL) 6 (GM 1)
Boston
took an early 3-0 lead, only to see St. Louis scored three runs in the second
and third innings to move ahead. First baseman Scott
Ingerton hit a three-run homerun in the top of the fifth to tie the score
at 6-6, but the Rustlers highlights ended there. Rube Geyer
(3-1, 3.10) was stellar after that, plus he doubled home a run in the bottom of
the fifth that put the Cardinals back in the lead to stay.
Boston
(NL) 11 St. Louis (NL) (H) 7 (GM 2)
Again,
Boston took the early lead, and again St. Louis roared back, this time by
scoring six runs in the bottom of the fourth. This time the Rustlers came back
though, as Scott
Ingerton hit his second homerun of the day to put the visitors back ahead, and then they poured it on from there. Buster
Brown (7-13, 5.12) walked eight but got the win as three St. Louis pitchers
combined to give up twelve walks.
