Yankees 6, Browns 1: New York broke open a close game with six consecutive hits in the 7th inning as they pulled away from St. Louis at home. The Yankees had just taken a 2-1 lead the previous inning behind a leadoff triple from Wally Pipp and an RBI single by Carl Mays, but it appeared as if the 7th would be a quiet inning when Elam Vangilder retired the first two New Yorkers. But, six batters later, the Yanks had collected five singles, a double and four runs across the plate and Mays (10-13) held St. Louis without a base hit over the final two innings to slam the door closed. Mays and Ping Bodie each had three singles for New York, who amassed sixteen total safeties against Browns pitching. [box]

Nationals 9, Tigers 4: Washington exploded for seven runs in the 5th inning to run over the Tigers at Griffith Stadium. Detroit held a 2-1 lead before the wheel came off for Howard Ehmke (12-15) after two men were out in the 5th. With two men on base he walked three of the next seven Nats, and allowed RBI singles to the other four, as the home club piled on the runs. Joe Leonard had three hits and three RBI for Washington, while Ty Cobb continued his chase of .400 with two doubles and a single. Tom Zachary (3-3) pitched into the 9th inning for WAS, before allowing the first two men of the final frame to reach base and requiring three outs' worth of assistance from Walter Johnson. [box]
