The Boston Americans travel to Cleveland for a 3-game series against the Blues. Boston heads into the series in a first place tie in the American League standings, while the Blues sit 4 games back.

Game 15: Cleveland (9-6) jumped out to an early lead and held on to top Boston (10-5) by a score of 6 to 5. Despite the Americans pounding out 12 hits on the day, they could not string the hits to bring in the needed runs. Blues starter Watty Lee (2-2) did just enough to pick up the win; tossing a complete game on 152 pitches and finished with a Game Score of 52. Jesse Tannehill (2-2) took the loss, allowing 6 runs (5 earned) on 7 hits to finish with a Game Score of 44. Fred Clarke went 4 for 5 in the losing cause to raise his team leading batting average to .429 on the season. Not to be overlooked was just how sloppy a defensive game this was, with a combined 8 errors on the day.

Player of the Game: Watty Lee

Game 16: Not sure how he keeps doing it, but Boston (11-5) pitcher Fred Klobedanz (4-0) won again, this time beating the Blues (9-7) by a score of 3 to 2. Klobedanz allowed 2 runs (1 earned) while scattering 8 hits and 1 walk to finish with a Game Score of 64; lowering his ERA to 2.50 on the season. Taking the loss for the Blues was Kid Nichols (1-2) who allowed 3 runs on 11 hits; Game Score of 55. Filling in at shortstop for Kid Elberfeld, backup Sport McAllister made the most of it by going 2 for 4 (double) and drove in the winning run. Win Mercer also contributed with a 3 for 4 day (stolen base). On a disappointing note, Boston catcher Ossee Schreckengost had a terrible day on the base paths; getting caught stealing, tagged out trying to stretch a double into a triple, and called out on a play at the plate.

Player of the Game: Fred Klobedanz (Season: #1 / Career: #1)

Game 17: The final game of the series was a pitching duel, with Noodles Hahn (4-1) topping Bill Donovan (4-1) to give Boston (12-5) a 2 to 1 win over the Blues (9-8). Both pitchers baffled hitters throughout the day, with Hahn allowing 1 earned run on 4 hits and 1 walk (Game Score of 78), while Donovan gave up 2 earned runs on 6 hits and 2 walks (Game Score of 71). Boston 1st baseman Frank Chance provided the spark needed for the win, going 0 for 1 with 2 walks, 2 runs, and a stolen base.

Player of the Game: Noodles Hahn (Season: #4 / Career: #4)
