Indians 5, Yankees 3: Larry Gardner had three hits and Stan Coveleski and George Uhle combined to make an early Cleveland lead stick as the visitors came out on top in Manhattan. The Indians led 4-0 after batting in the 6th inning, but the New Yorkers got half of those back in the bottom half of the inning when Duffy Lewis homered (10) and Muddy Ruel singled home Wally Pipp after the first-sacker reached by taking a Coveleski offering in the ribs. Gardner's single following Joe Harris' 7th-inning double extended the lead, but New York took that one back immediately when Lewis was plunked and came around to score on Del Pratt's single. When Coveleski (10-13) walked PH Aaron Ward to load the bases with Yanks with two out, he was lifted in favor of George Uhle; the local Clevelander came good by inducing Chick Fewster to tap back to the box, and then retired the Yankees in order in the the 9th. Pratt had three hits for New York. [box]
1919 AL - Games of Monday, 11 August
Athletics 3, Tigers 0: Rollie Naylor spun a five-hitter and Philadelphia broke open a scoreless tie late in the game to win at home. The game was nothing but zeroes for five innings as Naylor and Hooks Dauss matched wits, but the A's got on the board in the 6th when Merlin Kopp's leadoff double set up George Burns' RBI single with two outs. Cy Perkins doubled home a second in the 7th and Tillie Walker hit a solo home run (9) in the 8th while Naylor was slicing through the Tigers lineup. Detroit only had two hits after the 4th inning, and Naylor sent the last eleven men back to the Detroit dugout with the bat in their hands. [box]

1919 AL - Games of Sunday, 10 August
White Sox 5, Nationals 0: Eddie Cicotte dominated Washington to win his eighteenth game of the campaign and got help from Nemo Leibold's two-hit, two-walk, three-run showing at the top of the Chicago lineup. Leibold singled to start the game and scored the first run when Buck Weaver tripled; he walked to lead off the 5th and scored on a wild pitch and Eddie Collins single that put the White Sox up by a score of 3-0; then he singled and scored in the 9th on Happy Felsch's single. Cicotte got stronger as the day warmed up in the Nation's capital, only allowing two Washington safeties after the 3rd inning and retiring eleven in a row until permitting two to reach in the bottom of the 9th. Joe Jackson had two RBI to take over the League lead from teammate Felsch with 84. [box]
1919 AL - Games of Saturday, 9 August
Browns 9, Red Sox 0: St. Louis rapped out seventeen hits (six for two bases), five of them from pitcher Lefty Leifield (2-1), and the 35-year-old southpaw held Boston off the board completely in front of a quiet gathering at Fenway Park. Leifield's hitting exploits included four singles, a double, two runs scored and a run batted in and, with the ball in hand rather than the bat, he held the Red Sox to eight hits while issuing only a single free pass. The Browns got all the scoring they would need with four runs in the first two innings and then piled on with five late inning runs to run up the final score. Jimmy Austin and Hank Severeid each had three hits and Babe Ruth reached base three times for Boston. [box]
