Indians 5, Athletics 4: Today it was Cleveland's turn to pull the rug out from under Philadelphia at the very end, scoring three times in the 9th inning to reverse the outcome at the final hurdle. Hi Jasper (3-3) and Walt Kinney (4-10) pitched scoreless ball for four innings before Ray Chapman's two-run single in the 5th put the Indians ahead, but the A's answered with one in the 5th, on four straight singles, and two in the 7th on Tillie Walker's 7th home run to take their turn in front. It remained 3-2 PHA until the last inning, when two doubles and two Athletic errors sparked a three-run rally; Joe Harris' two-out, two-run double jumped the Indians in the lead again, and George Uhle came on to pitch a hitless final inning to make that edge stick. Harris had four hits on the day, three of them going for two bases, and Cy Perkins collected three safeties for Philadelphia. [box]

Red Sox 5, Tigers 4: Down to their final out and trailing by two runs, Boston rallied improbably to score three times in the last of the 9th and steal a win out from under the men from Detroit. Harry Hoopers' two-run single in the 2nd made it a 2-2 game early, but Detroit edged in front behind Harry Heilmann's solo home run (6) in the 6th and Donie Bush's RBI double in the 7th. Hooks Dauss was having it his way on the mound for the Tigers, retiring Babe Ruth twice with men aboard and escaping a bases-loaded mess in the 8th by getting Hooper to foul out to the catcher. But, in the 9th, he walked the first two batters to send manager Hughie Jennings scrambling to get Slim Love (4-6) off the bench and onto the hill. The lanky left-hander seemed to have successfully doused the flames when he retired Ruth and Wally Schang with the runners stuck in place, but he lost his way and walked Del Gainer and Red Shannon to force in a run and then Everett Scott struck a single to right that scored two runs and gave the Sox and Sam Jones (6-11) a shocking success. Braggo Roth joined Scott as three-hit men for the afternoon. [box]
Tigers 5, Red Sox 3: Detroit bounced back from the disappointment of the opener to earn a split behind Ty Cobb's three hits and Howard Ehmke's solid moundwork. The clubs traded two-run 1st innings (Cobb doubling home the Tiger tally) and Detroit then moved ahead with single runs in the 3rd and 5th (Tyrus singling in both frames). Ossie Vitt's triple and Braggo Roth's scoring fly ball in the 7th got Boston within a run, but Detroit put an insurance score in the bank in the 9th thanks to a Bob Jones triple and Oscar Stange single and Ehmke (10-12) retired the final seven Sox to secure the lead. Ehmke had three hits himself, as did Bill Lamar for Boston. [box]
Yankees 6, White Sox 3: Duffy Lewis had four hits in four trips against his old club, and Bob Shawkey went the distance against the League leaders for New York. The contest hung in the balance at 4-2 in favor of the Yankees in the bottom of the 6th, when Fred McMullin's error helped the Yanks score twice and open up some breathing space of which Shawkey (12-9) took full advantage, walking two in the 8th and allowing three hits in the 9th. But Sailor Bob from Syracuse stayed the course to retire both Joe Jackson and Shano Collins as the tying run at the plate. Roger Peckinpaugh and Buck Weaver each reached base safely on three occasions, with Peck scoring two of New York's runs. [box]
Yankees 6, White Sox 4: Del Pratt had three hits and belted his first home run of the season to lead New York to a doubleheader sweep of Chicago, handing the White Sox their fifth loss in their last eight games. A three-run 4th with RBI from Pratt, Ping Bodie and Muddy Ruel staked the Yanks to a 4-1 lead but the Sox rallied to close the score to 5-4 when they scored an unearned run with the help of Bodie's fielding error in the top of the 7th. But three singles in the bottom half of the inning created another New York run and Jack Quinn (10-10) retired seven of the final eight Sox, including a game-ending double play turned by Wally Pipp and Roger Peckinpaugh. Peckinpaugh also had three hits. [box]
Nationals 8, Browns 2: Washington pounded out fifteen hits - four each from Sam Rice and Buzz Murphy - and "Grunting Jim" Shaw shackled St. Louis on five hits. The home team broke open a 3-2 game by scoring three times in the bottom of the 5th on the strength of five base hits, and Shaw (11-11) pitched to weak contact all afternoon allowing one walk while recording no strikeouts. Mike Menosky scored three times while Murphy drove in three. [box]
