Phillies 8, Robins 3: Irish Meusel and Gavy Cravath had four hits apiece, as Philadelphia pounded out fifteen hits to back Eppa Rixey in a win at Brooklyn. The Phillies busted open a close game with four straight singles in a 5th-inning rally that scored four runs to give PHI a 5-2 lead. After the clubs traded singe runs in the 8th, Cravath launched his League-pacing eleventh home run in the 9th, with Meusel on first base, to give the fragile Philadelphia pitching some margin for error. Rixey (1-1), despite an uncharacteristic five bases on balls on the afternoon, waltzed through an uneventful 9th inning to finish off the complete game. [box] [broadcast]

Robins 4, Phillies 2: A critical error by Doug Baird allowed Brooklyn to score twice in the bottom of the 7th inning and grab the nightcap over Philadelphia. With one out in the 7th Ivy Olson singled, and Jimmy Johnston hit a ground ball to the left of third base which Baird fielded without incident but then threw over the head of first baseman Fred Luderus to put two men into scoring position. Tommy Griffith followed with a base hit that scored both men to give the Robins the lead, and Al Mamaux (6-1) retired the final eight Phils to secure the win. Zack Wheat had two doubles and an single for Brooklyn. [box]
Giants 7, Braves 3: Larry Doyle knocked in three runs for New York, including a two-run triple that keyed a five-run 7th inning which was enough to dispatch Boston at Braves Field. The score was tied at two runs apiece when the Giants came to the bat in the 7th, and Hal Chase led off the inning with a single and a stolen base before Fred Toney broke the tie with an RBI single. A Tony Boeckel error put another runner aboard before George Burns doubled and Doyle drove the three-bagger that placed the Gothams firmly in charge. Toney (3-4) wan not at his sharpest, allowing twelve Brave hits and three free passes, but he dug down for a little extra juice when required (Boston was 1-for-6 with runners in scoring position) and had an easy 9th inning to finish off the game. Doyle's three RBI moved him into the Senior Circuit's top five in that category for the season. [box]
Braves 2, Giants 0: Dick Rudolph dazzled with a four-hitter for his ninth win, and Boston pushed across two runs with alert baserunning to squeak past New York and earn a draw of their doubleheader. With runners on second and third in the bottom of the 1st and Walton Cruise at bat with one out, Jesse Barnes (9-3) skipped a breaking ball short of the plate which skittered about fifteen feet to the first base side of the plate; Joe Riggert broke for home instantly and beat the throw back to the plate from catcher Mike Gonzalez to break the ice. Rudolph (7-3) held the Giants quiet, pitching out of a two-on, one-out jam in the 6th, and Boston scrambled a run in the 7th. Tony Boeckel and Rabbit Maranville singled with one out, and Boeckel sprinted home ahead of the throw to the plate on Art Wilson's ground ball to second. Rudolph finished the business in style by setting down the last eleven New Yorkers. [box]
Cubs 2, Cardinals 0: Lefty Tyler and Pete Alexander combined to shut out St Louis and Max Flack scored both Chicago runs in a tight win at Weeghman Park. The home-standing Cubs got a run across in the bottom of the 1st when Flack scored on Les Mann's double-play grounder, and added one in the 5th when Flack walked and later scored on Mann's base hit. Tyler (2-2) allowed only one hit over the first six innings before escaping a mild bit of heartburn in the 7th and yielded to Alexander in the 9th after allowing the first two Cards to single. The veteran righty struck out Austin McHenry with the tying runs in scoring position after a sacrifice and then got pinch-hitter Cliff Heathcote to line softly to second base for the final out. Marv Goodwin (4-6) was a hard-luck loser for the Cardinals. [box]
Pirates 10, Reds 0: Four Pittsburgh batters had three hits as the home team buried Cincinnati at Forbes Field. The Pirates got five hits in the 3rd inning, including doubles from Billy Southworth and Walter Barbare, to score four runs and stack sufficient support behind Frank Miller. Five more hits in the 8th made the game a cakewalk, and Miller (6-3) stifled the Reds on two hits over the final six innings to complete a comprehensive victory. having big days at the plate for PIT were Southworth, NL batting leader Carson Bigbee, Howdy Caton and George Cutshaw.
