Chicago
(AL) (H) 7 Philadelphia (AL) 4 (GM 2)
A split
in today's doubleheader kept Chicago at one game below .500, but they hope to
maintain their recent surge and get over the .500 mark before the end of the
week. The White Sox led 4-1 after the fifth and then added three runs in the
bottom of the seventh, the big hit being a three-run double off the bat of Joe Jackson.
Those runs came in handy when the A's rallied late, but Jim Scott
(7-10, 2.53) was never really in trouble.
Cleveland
(H) 7 Washington 1 (7)
The
Indians put up a five-spot in the bottom of the second, and Stan
Coveleski (7-12, 3.13) mowed down the Nationals for the rain-shortened
victory.
Note: I
thought I had rain effects turned off? Given that Cleveland had a substantial
lead and it was late in the game, I decided to just gonna go with it, but I do
want to make sure I didn’t accidentally turn something on (or off).
Detroit
(H) 6 Boston (AL) 1
Both
teams scored a run in the first, and then the Tigers slowly crept ahead,
leading 3-1 after the seventh inning. In the bottom of the eighth, Boston

Yankees jumped on Dave

any pain for the win.

and then took the lead for good when Rudolph scored from third on a wild pitch.
Brooklyn
(H) 6 Cincinnati 5
With the
score tied at 3-3 through the end of seven innings, the Reds scored twice in
the eighth to take a 5-3 lead. The Robins came right back with three runs in

situation in the top of the ninth.

Zimmerman. Jimmy
Lavender (9-7, 2.63) continued his string of good starts as he went all the
way for the win.
Chicago
(NL) 2 Philadelphia (NL) (H) 1 (GM 2)

acquired catcher Art Wilson
delivered a two-out, two-run single in the top of the second inning, and Claude

sweep on the road in Philadelphia. Al Demaree
(8-9, 1.97) held the visitors to five hits, but the Phillies offense was
sufficiently stifled by Hendrix.

The
White Sox had woken up this morning to see they were at .500 for the first time
since early season, and now, having reached that point, didn’t want to turn
around and lose both ends of a doubleheader and feel like they have to do it
all over again, but that is what happened. Harry
Harper (13-10, 1.48) threw a two-hit shutout to get the Game Two win over Mellie

Sox got on the board first with a run in the top of the fifth, but the Browns
quickly answered back with two runs in the bottom half of the inning, and Ernie Koob
(7-3, 2.08) and Carl
Weilman held off Boston for the rest of the game to end the week with a
win.
