Robins 3, Giants 2: Rube Marquard pitched a seven-hitter and Ed Konetchy singled home the eventual decisive run in the 8th inning as Brooklyn slipped past their cross-town rivals. RBI from Konetchy and Ernie Krueger had given the Robins a 2-0 lead while Marquard was spinning a whitewash, but Bew York got to him for a run in the 7th on when he booted Art Fletcher's ground ball with Benny Kauff on third. But Konetchy (3-for-3), two RBI) upped the advantage in the next half-inning and Marquard survived a second-and-third, no-out jam in the bottom of the 9th by striking out pinch-hitter George Kelly with Kauff standing at second base.

Braves 10, Phillies 5: Boston built an early 4-0 lead, watched it get washed away in a four-run Philadelphia 7th, and then recovered to score five times in the 8th to finally put the game to bed. The first six Braves reached base in the 2nd, and four of them scored as the home club jumped out to a healthy lead. The Phillies touched Jack Scott for one run in the 6th to get on the board, before they broke out in the following frame. With one out and a man on, two walks and two singles from the next four batters scored a pair, and then Harry Pearce and Hick Cady stroked two-out RBI singles that gave Philadelphia the lead. Boston tied the score again in the bottom half when Walton Cruise singled, stole second and third, and came home on Walter Holke's base hit. In the next inning, the Braves piled up five singles, a walk and a Phillie error to produce five runs and Ray Keating pitched a 1-2-3 9th to finish off a wild affair at Braves Field. [box]
Reds 5, Pirates 4: Earl Hamilton undid a fine pitching performance with a costly mistake with the glove, and this allowed Heinie Groh to single home two runs in the top of the 9th to bring the Reds back from the brink of defeat at Pittsburgh. Pittsburgh had just scored three times in the last of the 8th to grab a 4-3 lead, on a two-run triple from Tony Boeckel and an RBI single by Billy Southworth, when Hamilton came out to protect that edge in the 9th. He retired the first two Reds, and was on his way to the win when pinch-hitter Rube Bressler skittered one back towards the mound. Hamilton stabbed at the ball twice but could not come up with it cleanly as Bressler took first. The rattled Pirate hurler then walked Morrie Rath and Greasy Neale to load the bases before Groh singled on a full-count offering to score Bressler and Rath to put Cincinnati back in front. Jimmy Ring came on to close it out in the bottom of the 9th and was two-thirds of the way there before PH Walter Barbare tripled to place the tying run ninety feet away, but Carson Bigbee flied out to left as the Reds held on.

Cubs 4, Cardinals 2: A sudden spate of wildness by Bill Doak gave Chicago the opening it needed to rally with three runs in the 8th inning that pushed them past St. Louis. The clubs had traded 1st-inning runs before the Cards took the lead in the 4th on a single, wild pitch and Dots Miller's RBI hit, but Doak and Claude Hendrix had the hitters under wraps for most of the afternoon. Doak had allowed just two hits and a walk for seven innings before his command suddenly abandoned him in the 8th - a leadoff walk to Charlie Deal was followed by a sacrifice and a wild pitch before Doak got Hendrix to pop up for the second out. But he walked Max Flack and then Pete Kilduff singled home a run to knot the score at two; another walk to Charlie Hollocher followed and Turner Barber hit a line-drive single to right field that scored the two runs that put the Cubs in the driver's seat. The Cards got one-out singles in each of the final two innings, but Hendrix stranded them both at first to secure the victory for the visitors. Burt Hotton and Rogers Hornsby had two hits apiece for St. Louis. [box] [broadcast]
