Indians 5, Yankees 2: Bill Wambsganss was the man of the day in Cleveland with three hits, and two RBI in a five-run 2nd inning that was enough to overcome New York. The second baseman came up with two outs and the bases loaded in the 2nd and drilled a two-run single that gave the Indians a 3-0 lead, and then scored on Tris Speaker's two-run triple. Stan Coveleski (6-9) retired the first sixteen Yankees, and twenty-two of the first twenty-three, before allowing two runs on Sammy Vick's bases-loaded single in the 8th. [box]

White Sox 7, Athletics 5: Dickie Kerr had three hits and overcame a rough start to pitch a complete game over Philadelphia. The clubs got a lot of early baserunning practice and, when Chicago scored twice on RBI doubles by Buck Weaver and Hap Felsch, the score was already 5-4 in favor of the White Sox. Kerr (7-2) stiffened from here, allowing only one run the rest of the way while being provided insurance in the form of two Nemo Leibold RBI. Amos Strunk had three hits, drew two walks and scored twice for Philadelphia. [box]
White Sox 1, Athletics 0: Red Faber shut out the A's on six hits and Neo Leibold singled home the game's only run with two outs in the bottom of the 9th as Chicago found a way to win yet again. Faber and Jing Johnson (5-6) held the offenses under wraps for the entire afternoon - Chicago loaded the bases with two outs in the second before Faber flew out and the A's got two aboard with one gone in the 3rd, but there was precious little action on the basepaths otherwise. Fred McMullin led off the last of the 9th with a single and was bunted to second by Ray Schalk. Faber (9-4) then skied out to right before Leibold, who reached base three times, singled into short right field and McMullin ran home with the game-winner. Happy Felsch was the only player to record two hits in the contest. [box]
Tigers 5, Nationals 2: Donie Bush collected three hits and drove in two Detroit runs to support Bernie Boland's fine mound work at Navin Field. The game was knotted at 2-2 when Bush stepped to the plate with the sacks full of Tigers and one out in the 7th, and the diminutive shortstop delivered a two-run single that gave Detroit the lead for the first time all afternoon. Boland (11-2) would secure the win by setting down twelve of the last thirteen Washingtons, nine via the ground ball. Bob Jones and Eddie Ainsmith each had two hits in the winning cause. [box]
Browns 8, Red Sox 6: Despite leaving fifteen men on the bases, St. Louis took enough advantage of fourteen hits and seven free passes to outscore Boston at Sportsman's Park. A five-run 5th inning behind run-scoring doubles from Wally Schang and Everett Scott gave Boston a 6-1 lead, but the Browns began chipping away with singletons in the 5th and 6th before chasing Carl Mays () from the mound with a barrage of big hits ins the 7th. Earl Smith led off the inning with a triple and, after a walk, Hank Severeid followed with a double that scored one run. A pair of groundouts scored two runs to tie the game, but the Browns weren't done yet - Joe Gedeon tripled and Jack Tobin then singled to put St. Louis in front. Rasty Wright (2-1_ entered the game in the 7th, in relief of an under-supported Allen Sothoron (six unearned runs!), and pitched beautifully to hold Boston without a runner in scoring position over the final three innings. Herman Bronkie, Gedeon and Tobin, the first three batsmen in the Browns lineup, had three hits each and Wally Gerber walked four times. [box]
