Tigers 26, Red Sox 2: Detroit broke the American League record for runs scored in a single game as they beat Boston into submission, and then some, on a long day at Navin Field. The previous AL scoring mark had been set by the 1912 Athletics. who had scored 24 times against (ironically) the Tigers at Shibe Park, but that record was surpassed during a four-run 7th inning that closed out the scoring today. There was a hint of record-breaking in the air as early as the 3rd inning, when Detroit scored ten times with the help of three of Boston's seven errors (leading to a total of ten unearned runs), but the hits and runs kept on coming: after one in the 4th, there were four in the 5th, six in the 6th and four more in the 7th as the Red Sox could not find an arm capable of stopping the bleeding after Babe Ruth (2-6) lasted only two innings on the mound. The box score is replete with stat-stuffing performances from Tiger batters: Harry Heilmann had six hits and scored four times, pitcher Howard Ehmke (8-12) had five RBI, and Donie Bush had four hits and three runs batted in.

White Sox 3, Yankees 2: Nemo Leibold doubled home Ray Schalk with one out in the bottom of the 10th inning to lift Chicago to victory over New York. The White Sox had taken an early lead when a triple by Schalk and a double by Fred McMullin produced two runs in the 2nd, but Roger Peckinpaugh doubled one home in the 3rd and tripled and scored in the 6th to tie the score. Bob Shawkey and Lefty Williams were otherwise keeping the scoresheets clean, and both men pitched through the full nine innings. When there was no winner in regulation, Williams (16-6) came out for the 10th and loaded the bases but retired the final two men on shallow fly balls; Shawkey, having allowed twelve hits and four walks, was lifted for Allen Russell (5-6). Russell got McMullin to ground to Frank Baker at third base to start the inning, but Baker's throw was up the line allowing McMullin to reach. Schalk singled to put two men aboard but Williams' attempt at a sacrifice led to a force out at third base, bringing up Leibold, who has made a habit this season of game-ending hits. And he did it again, driving one out of the reach of Chick Fewster in right field and off the outfield wall as Schalk (four hits on the day) scored the winning run. [box]
White Sox 8, Yankees 0: Red Faber blanked New York on four hits and Buck Weaver and Joe Jackson belted out four hits apiece as the White Sox swept the Yankees. New York's best chances to tally against Faber came in the 3rd, when Ping Bodie was thrown out at home by Jackson trying to score from second on Al Wickland's base hit, and in the 7th when Bodie tripled with one out but was stranded by Faber (11-4) with a strikeout of Wickland and a groundout by Truck Hannah. Meanwhile, Jackson was ripping two triples and a double in the first four innings, knocking in three, and Weaver was singling in four consecutive at-bats as Chicago kept adding to a lead they didn't really require.

Indians 2, Athletics 1: This is how losing streaks go - on the rare occasion these days that Philadelphia gets a well-pitched game, the bats are silent - and the A's fall to defeat again, this time a close decision in Cleveland. Tom Rogers (6-8) allowed only single Indian runs in the 3rd and 5th, but Guy Morton (8-9) was mowing through Athletic hitters like a scythe through hay, retiring eighteen in a row at one stretch. Philadelphia did get two aboard in the 7th and 8th innings, failing to score each time, and scored run and got the tying runner to third in the 9th, but Stan Coveleski came on to retire Cy Perkins on a fielder's choice for the final out of the game.

Nationals 4, Browns 2: Jim Shaw pitched nine strong innings and Hal Janvrin chipped in three hits to lead Washington over St. Louis. The only blemish on Shaw's ledger was a two-run 6th helped along by a walk and a passed ball; other than that, only one Brown batter reached second base and that took an error. Janvrin knocked in the game's first run, and scored its last, while Shaw backed himself with two hits and an RBI. [box]
