Yankees 7, Red Sox 3: New York rapped five doubles, while Boston could only muster four hits in total as the Yankees won at home. Two runs in each of the 1st, 3rd and 4th were more than enough to put NY in front comfortably, and Jack Quinn (21-11) held the Sox to a single unearned run until tiring slightly and walking two that later scored in the 9th. Frank Baker had four hits, three of them doubles, and drove in four runs for the Yankees. [box]

Red Sox 3, Yankees 2: Babe Ruth's 37th home run tied the game in the top of the 9th, and Boston went on to score another run that inning and edge New York in a tight affair at the Polo Grounds, despite the Red Sox only managing four hits for the second time on the afternoon. The Yankees led for most of the game, scoring a single run in each of the 2nd (doubles from Del Pratt and Muddy Ruel) and 3rd (Roger Peckinpaugh singles, steals second and third, and scores on a groundout) to grab a 2-0 lead which Bob Shawkey (18-12) guarded jealously for eight innings. Boston got a gift in the 8th when Peckinpaugh made two errors to allow a run to score, and then Ruth went deep to lead off the 9th and knot the score at two. A one-out walk and a groundout put the go-ahead run at second with one out left, and Everett Scott lined a single that put the Sox ahead. Waite Hoyt (9-5) allowed two singles in the bottom of the 9th, but retired Sammy Vick on a fly ball for the final out. [box]
White Sox 6, Browns 2: Buck Weaver's three hits and Eddie Cicotte's pitching combined to exhibit the difference in class between the first and second-place teams in the circuit. The game was tied at two after three innings, but Chicago went ahead in the 4th on a Cicotte double and an error by St. Louis starter Allen Sothoron, and then Cicotte completely shut the Browns down - retiring nineteen of the last twenty men, with only three of those balls leaving the infield. In the late innings, the White Sox tagged on a few insurance runs which Cicotte (26-8) didn't need. [box]
Tigers 6, Indians 2: Ralph Young had three hits and Harry Heilmann knocked in a pair to back Dutch Leonard to a victory at Navin Field. The Tigers jumped in front with three-run two-out lightning capped by Heilmann's two-run single and Ira Flagstead's RBI base hit and that was enough for Leonard (12-11), who allowed three singles and a run in each of the 6th and 9th but was otherwise not seriously threatened.
