Red Sox 6, Indians 4: Babe Ruth homered in the bottom of the 11th inning to push the Red Sox to a doubleheader sweep of the Indians at Fenway Park. Ruth's 10th home run of the season was his third in two days after going nearly a month since hitting his last four-bagger on 21 May in Detroit, as he sent a Charlie Jamieson (0-2) offering into the stands with Amos Strunk on first and no outs in the extra frame. The game had failed to conclude in regulation when Cleveland rallied for two runs in the top of the 9th off of Herb Pennock, Doc Johnston providing the big base hit with the bases full and one out. Both teams threatened in each of the extra frames, but Bill James (3-1) managed to wriggle free for the Red Sox while Jamieson could not evade the wrath of Ruth, who also collected a brace of two-base hits to finish the twin bill with three doubles, two home runs, three runs scored and six driven in.

| Babe Ruth, BOS |
Red Sox 9, Indians 7: In the opener, Babe Ruth and Everett Scott each had three hits to pace a Boston attack to a high-scoring victory. The Red Sox trailed 2-1 into the bottom of the 5th, when they erupted for five runs against Tom Phillips (0-2) with Wally Schang and Ossie Vitt each contributing two-run hits. Cleveland scored three in their next turn, capped by Steve O'Neill's two-run single, but Boston came right back with three in their half of the 6th when Babe Ruth homered for two runs and Schang singled home another. This gave the visitors a 9-5 lead which they nursed home over the next three innings; the Indians got one in the 8th and one in the 9th but couldn't produce enough to prevent Sam Jones (4-4) from earning the win. Elmer Smith had three hits and O'Neill had three RBI for Cleveland. [box]
Browns 9, Yankees 6: Late-inning offense from Jack Tobin and George Sisler allowed the Browns to come out on top of an eventful contest in New York. The clubs traded blows until the score was 6-5 in the Yankees' favor through six innings, George Sisler and Baby Doll Jacobson knocking home two apiece and Frank Baker stroking three hits for the home team. But the Browns took the lead in the 7th when Sisler singled home Jimmy Austin for his third RBI of the game and Joe Gedeon also scored when Roger Peckinpaugh bobbled Earl Smith's two-out ground ball. The slim resulting lead was padded in the top of the 9th when Gedeon led off against George Mogridge with a single and Tobin followed him with a fly ball into the stands in right field. Throughout it all Carl Weilman (7-2) persevered, despite allowing ten hits and six runs, and was sharp over the final three innings to secure the win for the visitors. [box]
White Sox 8, Athletics 4: Red Faber survived early troubles to pitch a complete-game and the Chicago offense pulled away late in a win at Shibe Park. After Chicago had scored three times in the 2nd against Rollie Naylor (1-1), Faber ran into similar problems in the bottom half - the first five A's reached base, with George Burns' two-run triple the big blow, and Whitey Witt singled in a run to give Philadelphia a 4-3 lead. Chicago was gifted back that last run and a tie in the 5th when Burns mishandled Joe Jackson's grass cutter to first allowing Nemo Leibold to score. From that point forward it was all White Sox as Faber (7-3) stiffened, allowing only three hits over the last five innings, and two-run hits by Leibold in the 6th and Jackson in the 9th put the game away for Chicago. Swede Risberg had three hits, scored twice and drove in three. [box]
Tigers 5, Nationals 1: Harry Heilmann homered, Bob Jones collected three hits and Slim Love held Washington to four hits over the final six innings as Detroit won in the Nation's Capital. The home club got on the board first when Sam Rice singled in a run in the 3rd, but the Tigers took the lead back straightaway when Oscar Stanage and Ralph Young knocked in runs as part of a four-hit 4th-inning outburst against Walter Johnson (7-4). The two starters then settled in and kept the batters off the board through seven innings, but the Tigers would seize the day in the 8th when Ty Cobb singled and stole second before Heilmann drilled a ball over the fence. An error and passed ball gave Detroit another run in the 9th before Love (3-2) finished it off. [box]
