Robins 4, Giants 3: Shortly after watching New York tie the score on Larry Doyle's home run, Brooklyn pushed a man across in the bottom of the 8th inning to win at Ebbets Field. The visiting Giants had a 2-1 lead before Lew Malone's two-out, two-run double switched the lead in the Robins' favor in the 6th, but Doyle hit his fourth four-bagger of the season to lead off the top of the 8th and bring NY onto level terms once again. Zack Wheat started off the bottom of the inning against Fred Toney (2-4) with a single, and he got as far as third base with two outs after a pair of groundouts. This brought Malone to the plate again, and again he came through with two outs, singling Wheat home to put Brooklyn back on top. Leon Cadore (6-4) walked Ross Youngs to put the tying run on base with two away in the 9th, but the Giants' right-fielder was gunned down by Otto Miller trying to swipe his way into scoring position to end the game.

Giants 7, Robins 5: Benny Kauff had four of. New York's seventeen hits as the Giants outlasted Brooklyn in the second game of the doubleheader. The visitors broke open a scoreless game with three in the 5th behind Art Fletcher's home run (4), and Jimmy Johnston's two-out error in the 6th allowed NY to pile on two more runs. When Kauff hit a homer (4) in the 7th to make it 6-1 it looked to be a cakewalk for the Gothams, but four straight singles to start the bottom of the 7th led to three Robins runs and suspense was back on the menu. The visitors got one in the top of the 9th when Kauff singled ahead of Heinie Zimmerman's two-run double, and the Robins got that back in the home half when Hi Myers doubled in a run, but Jean Dubuc came on with Ed Konetchy at the plate as the potential tying run and got the Brooklyn first baseman to ground out to third for the final out.

Reds 9, Cubs 4: Cincinnati scored five times in the 4th inning, behind two-run hits from Slim Sallee and Jake Daubert, to defeat Chicago despite the visitors' fourteen base hits. The big inning erased a 2-1 Cubs lead - after a bobble by Charlie Pick opened the door to three straight hits, the last two a two-run double by Sallee and a two-run triple by Daubert. The Reds stretched their lead to 9-2 through six, but Sallee (6-2) couldn't finish things off; four straight singles after two were out in the 9th ended his afternoon, and Roy Mitchell stepped in to retire Lee Magee on a force play that secured the win for Cincinnati.

Reds 3, Cubs 1: Hod Eller spun a three-hitter and Larry Kopf knocked in a pair of runs to lead Cincinnati to a twinbill sweep. The Reds scored twice in the bottom of the 1st when a single and two walk loaded the bases with two outs and Kopf grounded one through the infield for a two-run single, but the Cubs clawed one back immediately when Charlie Deal's ground ball scored a run in the 2nd. But Eller and Lefty Tyler (1-2) clamped down on the scoring from there, and it was still a 2-1 game heading into the 8th inning. In the home half, Heinie Groh stung Tyler for a leadoff triple and scored when Edd Roush grounded one up the middle which gave Charlie Pick only a play only at first., and Eller (7-4) retired the heart of the Cubs' order in order in the 9th.

Braves 11, Phillies 6: Philadelphia scored three times in the late innings to force extra time, and then watched their hard work evaporate under the weight of five Boston runs in the 11th. Back-to-back home runs by Ray Keating (1) and Joe Riggert (2) had given the visitors a 6-3 lead in the 7th but Doug Baird singled one in for the Phillies in the bottom half and two singles and a two-out Fred Luderus triple tied the game at six apiece in the bottom of the 9th. The 10th was uneventful, but the 11th was not - after retiring two of the first three Braves, George Smith (2-3) allowed the next five men to reach base with Walter Holke capping the inning with a two-run double for his fifth hit of the afternoon. This was more than enough to allow Dana Fillingim (3-4) to pitch around a single and an error in the bottom of the inning for the win. [box]
Braves 12, Phillies 0: Boston again pounded Philadelphia pitching for double-digit runs but this time the Phillies had no response, mustering only three hits on the way to a lopsided loss in front of a sullen crowd at the Baker Bowl. Boston scored in each of the first three frames to take a 5-0 lead and then salted the game away with six runs in the 8th, five of which were unearned thanks to two errors by Ed Sicking and one by Doug Baird. Art Nehf (5-7) walked four, but allowed only three singles, one over the final seven innings, to earn the complete-game shutout. Buck Herzog, Rabbit Maranville and Walt Tragesser each amassed three hits for Boston. [box]
Pirates 3, Cardinals 2: .Pittsburgh scored a run in the top of the 9th to tie the game and then one in the top of the 10th to win in St Louis. Three singles and an error produced two Cardinal runs in the 2nd inning ,and the home club nursed that lead to the end - almost. A Wilbur Cooper double and Carson Bigbee single got the Pirates on the board in the 5th, and Copper singled in the 9th to put two runners on before Zeb Terry tied the game with a base hit. Cooper hadn't allowed a run since the 2nd and his teammates got him the run he needed to win in the 10th - Billy Southworth singled, stole second and moved to third on a sacrifice before Vic Saier's base hit gave PIT its first lead of the game. Cooper (8-3) then put the Cardinals away on three ground ball outs in the bottom of the inning. [box]
