Athletics 12, Indians 3: Philadelphia sent fifteen men to the plate in a ten-run 4th inning that sent the Shibe Park crowd into a frenzy and made a comfortable winner of Socks Seibold. The game was scoreless when the home club came up to bat in the 4th inning and, after Roy Grover grounded out meekly to start the frame it appeared that zeroes were going to be the order of the day. But three straight singles followed to produce the game's first score, and when Joe Dugan then doubled in two more the visitors appeared to lose focus. Fred Thomas grounded to his counterpart Larry Gardner, who kicked it, and then Cy Perkins hit one on the ground to Dugan, who dropped the ball getting it out of his glove. With the bases now full again and a second out on the scoreboard, three more singles followed in succession before a double by Tillie Walker and a triple by George Burns cleaned up the baserunners. Cleveland scored three in the 8th as Seibold (1-0) began to tire, but the assembled fans hardly noticed. Burns had four hits and four RBI, Braggo Roth had three hits and scored three runs and Dugan had three RBI. [box]
