Indians 10, Yankees 2: Ray Chapman and Tris Speaker each drove home three runs as Cleveland used a five-run 4th inning outburst to run away from New York in The Forest City. The teams each scored twice in the 3rd, with Sammy Vick and Frank Baker knocking RBI extra-base hits for NY and Speaker singled home a pair with two outs for CLE. In the following inning, however, it went pear-shaped in a big way for Yankees starter Carl Mays (1-3); he plunked Jack Graney to load the bases with two outs and Chapman then drilled one over the head of Ping Bodie and to the CF wall for a three-run three-bagger, and Speaker and Gardner (three hits) followed with RBI hits that chased the surly right-hander from the game. Jim Bagby (12-12) was in complete control from that point, retiring sixteen of seventeen at one stretch and then setting down the final four Yanks while his teammates were piling on in the late innings.

White Sox 5, Athletics 4: A largely quiet affair burst into life in the 10th inning and the League leaders scored three times in the bottom of the inning to swipe what appeared would be a memorable victory for Philadelphia. Chicago had sprung into the lead on Joe Jackson's two-run single in the 1st, but a George Burns triple in the 6th led to two runs for the A's and a tie game. Dickey Kerr (10-5) and Win Noyes were otherwise unblemished through the front nine, but the sticks came out of their cases in the 10th. With one out in their half of the frame, Philadelphia got four singles from five hitters with Burns and pitcher Scott Perry delivering the RBI, but it would not be enough. Swede Risberg tripled off Perry (5-15) with one out, and scored on Ray Schalk's single. Perry then tossed a wild pitch which led to the tying run scoring after pinch-hitter Eddie Murphy singled. A Wickey McAvoy passed ball got Murphy to second, from whence he scored the winning run after Nemo Leibold and Eddie Collins followed with base hits. Collins and Tillie Walker of Philadelphia each amassed four hits on the afternoon. [box]
Tigers 7, Nationals 5: Harry Heilmann's three-run homer gave Detroit the lead in the 4th inning and Bernie Boland recovered from a bumpy start to hold Washington to four hits over the final six innings en route to his sixteenth win. The Nationals score three times in the top of the 3rd behind a Clyde Milan triple and Sam Rice double to take a 4-2 lead, but Jim Shaw could not suppress the formidable Tiger attack. With two outs and no one aboard in the 4th, Ty Cobb singled and Bobby Veach reached base on Howie Shanks' error (his 28th of the season). That crack was broken open by Heilmann, who followed with his 9th long ball of the season to pass the 75 RBI on the year. Washington got within two runs when Milan singled home a run to make the score 7-5 in the 7th, but Boland (16-5) was up to the task over the final two innings. [box]
Red Sox 5, Browns 3: Boston rallied behind a four-run 8th inning to jump past the Browns in St. Louis. The Browns led 2-1 through seven innings on the strength of 2nd-inning RBI singles from Jimmy Austin and Baby Doll Jacobson and Bert Gallia was holding Boston at bay with the exception of a single unearned run in the 4th. But, after getting the first batter in the 8th inning, Gallia (8-8) ran out of gas - Babe Ruth singled and Red Shannon tripled to produce one run, and Roxy Walters singled to deliver another. Joe Gedeon muffed Everett Scott's grounder to score a third, and Sox starter Allen Russell doubled down the line in LF to score the fourth and final run of the inning. Russell (2-1) promptly loaded the bases with Browns with no outs in the bottom of the inning, but got a key double-play grounder off the bat of Jack Tobin that allowed him to escape the inning with the lead and then set the Browns down in the 9th as well. Gallia and Stuffy McInnis each reached base three times. [box]
