Reds 4, Cubs 0: Slim Sallee pitched his second shutout of the season and Heinie Groh and Larry Kopf had three hits each as Cincinnati topped Chicago. Kopf knocked in all four Reds runs of the game, grounding out after Greasy Neale's triple in the 2nd, singling home Groh in the 6th and then lacing a two-run single in the 8th. Sallee, meanwhile, allowed one hit in the first four innings, and was only ever in any difficulty when he allowed two one-out singles in each of the 5th and 9th innings. The Reds' veteran lefty didn't allow a free pass, running his streak of frames without issuing a walk to twenty-one in a row. Lee Magee had four of the seven Cub hits. [box]

Braves 7, Phillies 4: Five straight singles led to four Boston runs and a come-from-behind victory over Philadelphia. Boston had taken advantage of three Phillie errors in the first four innings to take a 3-2 lead, but the visitors got three singles in the 5th and an RBI double in the 6th by Ed Sicking to regain the upper hand by a score of 4 to 3. In the last of the 7th, Brad Hogg (1-6) got the first out, but then walked pitcher Hugh McQuillan before the roof caved in on him; the next five Braves singled, and four runs crossed the plate before Frank Woodward came on in relief and escaped when Walton Cruise was thrown out at home for the third out as he tried to tag up on Tony Boeckel's fly ball to Possum Whitted. McQuillan (3-1) then found his rhythm at the right time, holding the Phils at bay for the final three innings and retiring Harry Pearce for the final out with two Braves on base. Fred Luderus had three base hits for Philadelphia. [box]
Cardinals 5, Pirates 4: Jakie May somehow survived seven walks to last eight innings and depart the game with a lead, and Oscar Tuero came on to pitch a nervy 9th that enabled St. Louis to hold on to win. The Cards scored twice in the 1st on a walk, error and RBI singles from Rogers Hornsby and Austin McHenry and then the Cardinals clubs spent the remainder of the game chasing, but never quite catching, the Pirates from behind. They got to within a single run three times in the first six innings but couldn't force a tie, and went into the bottom of the 9th trailing by two runs. Tuero entered the game in relief after May, who had put fifteen Pittsburghers on base in eight innings, was lifted for a pinch-hitter and quickly got into a bind when Billy Southworth doubled with one out. A wild pitch and a ground out cut the lead back to one run again, but Walter Schmidt flied out as St Louis came up just short for the final time. [box]
Robins 9, Giants 2: Brooklyn rode two home runs and the pitching of Clarence Mitchell to another win over their cross-town rivals. Ernie Krueger homered in the 3rd to tie the score at one run each, and Tommy Griffith followed suit in the 4th to give the Robins the lead for the first time. A double and an error later in the inning produced another run, and then two walks in each of the next two innings helped send another three Robin runs home; Giant errors in the 7th and 8th led to three more and the game was out of reach. Mitchell (2-1) allowed an unearned run in the 1st, and three singles for a run in the 6th, but otherwise pitched clean ball and finished in style with just a single hit surrendered over the last three innings while also stroking three base hits of his own.
