Cubs 3, Robins 2: Charlie Deal's single in the bottom of the 11th scored the winning run, with the benefit of a Brooklyn error, and enabled Chicago to withstand six of their own fielding miscues to win a close, mistake-filled affair at Weeghman Park. The Cubs got on the board first, in the 1st, on a single, two ground outs and a wild pitch and the clubs then traded runs in the 3rd with the Cubs retaking the lead on Max Flack's home run (3). Neither club could score again, despite Brooklyn getting some help from three Pete Kilduff errors, until the 8th when Tommy Griffith singled, stole second and took third on Bob O'Farrell's wild throw, and scored the tying run on Zack Wheat's sacrifice fly ball. There were two more Cub errors in the top of the 11th, but Speed Martin (3-2) got two outs in the air to keep the runners stuck on their bases, and the bats got it done in the bottom half. With one out, Kilduff singled, and he moved to second on a ground out. Dode Paskert's ground ball eluded the grasp of Ed Konetchy at first for another error to place Kilduff at third base and Deal then singled to shallow center to win the game for Chicago. Surprisingly, the nine errors in the game led to only a single unearned run, partly because the Robins hit only 2-for-13 with runners in scoring position. Otto Miller had three hits for Brooklyn and Flack had three for the Cubs. [box]

Phillies 5, Reds 3: A pair of RBI singles in the 10th inning spoiled a late Cincinnati comeback and gave Philadelphia the extra-inning win at Redland Field. The Reds scored first when Jimmy Smith singled and stole second in the 4th and then scored on Bill Rariden's hit, but the Phillies answered in triplicate when they next came to bat. Bert Adams was on first with two outs when the top of the Phils order came around, and four straight singles followed as Cy Williams, Irish Meusel and Gavy Cravath each delivered a run with their base hit. Eppa Rixey held that 3-1 lead through seven innings, but was undone by both his defense and his own pitching in the 8th - with one away Edd Roush reached on Doug Baird's error, and Greasy Neale followed him with his first home run of the season to deliver the runs that tied the game. In the 10th, Slim Sallee (5-2), on the mound the whole way for Cincinnati, seemed to run out of gas. Meusel (3-for-5) singled with one out, and Sallee walked Fred Luderus with two gone. The next two batters, Baird and Ed Sicking, both touched him for run-scoring base hits before he could get out of the inning and Elmer Jacobs (4-6) pitched a scoreless bottom half of the inning to put it away for Philadelphia.

Pirates 9, Braves 1: Pittsburgh pounded out nineteen hits, nine of those coming in the final two innings as they pulled away from Boston at Forbes Field. The Pirates held the early edge after Art Nehf (4-7) walked three in the 3rd, including one with the bases loaded, and Walter Schmidt and Zeb Terry knocked RBI hits in the 4th. The Braves pulled one of those runs back in the 7th when pinch-hitter Red Smith doubled in their first run of the game off of Erskine Mayer (4-4), but it fell apart for the visitors when Dick Rudolph came on to pitch in the bottom half of the inning. Two Boston errors and six Pittsburgh hits led to four runs for the home team, and two more came across in the 8th to complete the rout on a balk and a Vic Saier RBI triple. Saier and Walter Barbare each had four hits, two RBI and two runs scored for the Pirates. [box]
Cardinals 5, Giants 4: The two teams combined to leave twenty-one men on base, but St Louis got five of them home to win a close one over New York. The Cards had a 5-1 lead after six innings, and looked to have the game well in hand, but the Giants made it very interesting in the late innings. An unearned run in the 7th got NY moving in the right direction, and the first four Giants reached in the 8th before Bill Sherdel managed to escape with only two runs scoring and St Louis still clinging to a one-run lead. There was no drama in the 9th, however, as Sherdel set New York down in order for his League-leading fifth save of the season. [box]
