Nationals 8, White Sox 4: Clyde Milan had two doubles and a single, scored twice, knocked in three runs and stole a base to lead Washington to a home win over the White Sox. The Nationals roughed up Grover Lowdermilk (1-2) for five runs in the 2nd to break a 1-1 tie, with Milan doubling home two runs and then scoring on a wild pitch and Sam Rice's single, and added two more in the 4th when Milan started a rally with a single. Charlie Whitehouse (2-0) labored through five innings on the mound, and Dick Robertson provided four innings of one-run relief that held the League leaders (who were uncharacteristically sloppy in the field with three errors) at bay. Joe Jackson had three hits for the White Sox. [box]

Browns 4, Red Sox 0: Urban Shocker brushed aside Boston on five hits singles, and George Sisler whacked four hits to pace a fourteen-hit St. Louis attack. The visitors struck early on three first-inning singles and Sisler's RBI triple in the 3rd, and Shocker (8-1) had all he needed to put the win in his pocket. The Red Sox could only place a runner on second once and Shocker was at his best as the game wore on, retiring the final ten men. Baby Doll Jacobson had three hits and three RBI and Jack Tobin had two hits and scored two times. [box]
Yankees 2, Indians 1: Jack Quinn came out on top in a sharp pitching duel at the Polo Grounds as New York slipped past Cleveland. New York got off to a nice start against Stan Coveleski (5-6), getting a run on the board in the 1st inning on Duffy Lewis' RBI single, but there were a lot of zeroes after that as the teams failed to score again until 7th. It was the Yankees again breaking through, as Del Pratt led off with a three-base hit and was nudged across by Ping Bodie's ground ball out into the hole at shortstop. But Cleveland got that back in the 8th in similar fashion, a leadoff triple by Bill Wambsganss leading to a run and cutting the CLE deficit to a single run, but Quinn (5-5) retired the final four men to hang on for the win. Quinn and Roger Peckinpaugh were the only hitters to collect two hits on the afternoon. [box]
Athletics 4, Tigers 3: Pinch-hitter Merlin Kopp singled Joe Dugan home from second base with two out on the bottom of the 9th inning to give the A's an exciting win in front of the home crowd. Philadelphia had jumped out with three runs in the 1st inning on home runs from Fred Thomas and Tillie Walker, but the Tigers chipped away at Jing Johnson (4-4) until Bob Jones' two-out RBI single in the 6th tied the game at three apiece. Dutch Leonard (3-2) and Johnson held it tight in the late innings until the final at-bat. With one out, Dugan doubled and moved to third on a groundout. Kopp was called off of the bench to bat for Johnson and knocked a ground ball up the middle and into the outfield for the winning run. Thomas had three hits and Walker drove in two runs. [box]
