Red Sox 6, Athletics 5: Bill Lamar had five base hits, the last of which drove in the game-winning run in the bottom of the 8th to earn a doubleheader split for Boston. The Sox led 3-0 early in the game, before Philadelphia erupted for four runs off Herb Pennock in the 6th, George Burns driving in one and Merlin Kopp a pair. But Pennock led the fightback himself by doubling to start the bottom of the 7th and scoring the tying run when Lamar singled. After a single and a walk to Babe Ruth loaded the bases, Stuffy McInnis bounced into a force play that scored the go-ahead tally. The teams exchanged runs in the 8th, with Lamar delivering a two-out single that plated Everett Scott with the decisive run. Pennock (3-6) pitched a routine 9th and Scott Perry (3-10) took his tenth loss for the A's. George Burns had three hits for the visitors. [box]

Athletics 3, Red Sox 1: Rollie Naylor held Boston to seven hits and Whitey Witt had three of Philadelphia's ten singles. Two bases on balls by Sam Jones (4-8) set up a two-run rally in the 3rd that gave the A's the lead and Wickey McAvoy's RBI hit in the 5th padded the lead. Naylor (3-3) was in a rocking chair for most of the afternoon at Fenway Park, not surrendering more than one hir or walk until the 9th inning when Babe Ruth's triple and Wally Schang's ground out avoided the whitewash.

Tigers 5, White Sox 2: Ty Cobb and Oscar Stanage each had three hits to pace a fourteen-hit attack and Howard Ehmke pitched around eleven Chicago hits for a complete-game victory. Detroit rode a pair of two-run innings against Eddie Cicotte (11-6), each featuring a Donie Bush RBI single and run scored, to a 4-2 lead while Ehmke (6-11) walked a tightrope in the early innings (allowing four singles in the 2nd without a run). He settled once the Tigers had established their lead in the middle innings, holding the White Sox without a hit over the final three frames and retiring nine in a row at one point. Eddie Collins had three hits and a stolen base for Chicago. [box]
Nationals 6, Yankees 3: New York pitching fell apart at the final hurdle this afternoon, allowing Washington to score four times in the top of the 9th to break open a tie game and steal a win at the Polo Grounds. The score was 2-2 when Jack Quinn (8-6), on in relief of starter Ernie Shore, toed the rubber in the 9th; with one out, a single and a double put two men in scoring position and prompted an intentional pass to Clyde Milan to load the bases and set up the force play with one out. Sam Rice stepped to the plate and struck the big blow, driving one up the middle to score two runs, and two more scored on a walk, single and groundout before Quinn could escape the inning. Eric Erickson was sharp on the mound for Washington, allowing six hits and striking out six while going the route, Val Picinich had three hits and Eddie Foster doubled and stole a base. [box]
Browns 4, Indians 0: Urban Shocker shut out Cleveland on seven singles and Hank Severeid drive in two runs to lead St. Louis. Severeid started the scoring when he singled home Earl Smith in the 2nd, and then scored himself on Jimmy Austin's base hit. The next inning Severeid singled home Ken Williams after the latter had doubled in George Sisler after his own leadoff double, Guy Morton (4-9) pitched clean ball from there forward, but it was too late because Shocker (11-3) was untouchable; he pitched around some defensive wobbles in the early innings and stranded ten Indians with some timely hurling. Williams also had two hits for the winners. [box]
