The Baltimore Orioles travelled up to the Bay State to take on the Boston Americans. In what proved to be a challenging series for the hometown team, Baltimore took 2 of 3 games and highlighted several weaknesses in the Boston lineup.

Game 21: While the crowd did not like ending up on the losing side of the scoreboard, they were treated to a match-up between two of the best pitchers in baseball. Baltimore ace Christy Mathewson lead the Orioles (8-13) to a 2 to 1 victory over the Americans (14-7). Mathewson (2-4) scattered 8 hits and allowed just 1 earned run (Game Score of 69) to top the performance of Noodles Hahn (4-2) who, despite his best efforts, was saddled with the loss (Game Score of 68). Boston's hitting attack was led by Fred Clarke (3-4, team leading .430 batting average), Ossie Schreckengost (2-3), and Win Mercer (2-4, Double, 1 Run).

Player of the Game: Christy Mathewson

Game 22: Building on their victory from the day before, Baltimore (9-13) came out on fire and never looked back, topping the Americans (14-8) by a score of 9 to 1. The Orioles were led by Ed Siever (4-2) who tossed a complete game 9-hitter, allowing 1 earned run while striking out 5 (Game Score of 70). In stark contrast was the pitching of Cy Young (3-3) who lasted just 3 2/3 innings, allowing 8 runs (7 earned) on 9 hits and 2 walks (Game Score of 9). Baltimore was led by shortstop Otto Krueger (2 for 3, HR, 2 Runs, 1 RBI), while Boston's lone bright spot on the day was the batting of Fred Clarke (3-4, 1 Run, team leading .446 batting average).

Player of the Game: Ed Siever

Game 23: Boston (15-8) narrowly pulled out the victory of the Orioles (9-14) due to the 2-run blast from Kid Elberfeld in the bottom of the 8th inning. In an error filled game (7 combined errors), Boston pitcher Jesse Tannehill (4-2) kept Baltimore largely in check (Game Score of 64) but his fielding support made this a closer game than it should have been. The top of the Americans lineup combined for a 6 for 11 day (3 Runs, 1 RBI, and 3 Stolen Bases), with Fred Clarke raising his batting average to .448 on the season.

Player of the Game: Jesse Tannehill (Season: #4 / Career: #4)
