Browns 10, Indians 4: George Sisler hit for the cycle, scoring three runs and driving in five, to power St. Louis to a big win over the Indians. Sisler, who ran his batting average to a sizzling .380 with the day's performance, tripled in a run in the 1st; hit the second of back-to-back homers with Jack Tobin in the 3rd; singled in a run in the 6th; and doubled home two more in the bottom of the 8th to complete the rare feat. (The last cycle in the American League came off the bat of Bert Daniels of the Highlanders in 1912.) Ken Williams and Jimmy Austin each had two hits for the Browns and Ernie Koob (1-0) pitched 7.2 solid innings in a spot start to earn the win. [box]

[Note: In real life, Sisler would hit for the cycle twice - once in 1920 and again in 1921.]
