White Sox 8, Red Sox 7: For the second straight day, nine innings were insufficient to separate the Sox in Chicago, but this time it was a wild affair that saw eleven runs scored in the final two innings of regulation play before the White Sox ended the game on Joe Jackson's game-winning single in the bottom of the 11th. Boston led 4-0 into the bottom of the 8th behind excellent hurling from Bullet Joe Bush, but Jackson's two-run triple got Chicago on the board as part of a three-run inning. The Red Sox responded with three of their own in the top of the 9th courtesy of RBI doubles from Harry Hooper and Amos Strunk, but Sad Sam Jones, on in relief for Boston in the 8th, could not hold on. With one out and a runner on first, the usually sure-handed Everett Scott muffed ground balls from two straight batters and Jackson took a pitch on the thigh with the bases full and two outs to close the score to 7-5. That brought up Happy Felsch, who grounded one into left to score Nemo Leibold and Eddie Collins to tie the game. In the home 11th, Buck Weaver led off the inning with a triple and scored one batter later on Jackson's hit. Jackson and Felsch knocked in seven runs between them, and both Strunk and Ossie Vitt had three hits for the Red Sox. [box]

Browns 8, Athletics 2: St. Louis took advantage of a fourteen-hit attack and shoddy Athletics defense to distance the A's comfortably at Sportsman's Park. Four singles in the second, four in the 6th, and three Philadelphia errors that led to four runs were more than enough for Urban Shocker to go the distance (without allowing a base on balls) for the victory. Wally Gerber had three of the hits and keystone partner Joe Gedeon knocked in a pair. [box]
Tigers 3, Yankees 2: Willie Mitchell pitched 6.2 fine innings and Harry Heilmann's two-run double in the 8th inning proved decisive in a tightly-played contest n Detroit. Mitchell and Bob Shawkey locked horns in a scoreless game for five innings before the Tigers broke through in the 6th on a Ty Cobb double and Heilmann's RBI single. When Cobb, Bobby Veach and Heilmann went single-double-double in the 8th to make it 3-0 it appeared as if Detroit could coast to the line, but three straight hits to start the top of the 9th put the home side under pressure before Slim Love got Muddy Ruel to bounce into a key double play and then retired PH Chick Fewster for the final out. Ping Bodie and Cobb had three hits apiece. [box]
Indians 5, Nationals 2: Johnny Enzmann allowed two unearned runs in the top of the first and was then impeccable for the rest of the afternoon, allowing only five hits and no walks in a complete-game victory. First-frame errors by Ray Chapman and Doc Johnston wrapped around a Sam Rice triple gave Washington the early lead, but Cleveland got one back in the bottom half and then got to Harry Harper with four hits in the 6th, including back-to-back doubles by Larry Gardner and Bill Wambsganss, to take a lead which Enzmann would not relinquish. Gardner had three hits and two RBI for the Indians. [box]
