The win streak continues, as Boston topped Philadelphia to get the three game sweep! The victories moved the Americans into a 1st-Place tie with the Detroit Tigers for the American League lead.


Game 30: It wasn't pretty, but Cy Young did just enough to get Boston (20-10) the 6 to 4 win over the Athletics (12-18). Young (4-3) tossed a complete game 12-hitter (on 162 pitches - yikes!) allowing 4 earned runs to finish with a Game Score of 50. Earl Moore (2-5) lasted 7 innings for the Athletics in taking the loss, giving up 10 hits, 6 runs (4 earned), and a Game Score of 42. The Americans hitting attack was nicely spread out, with Jesse Hoffmeister (2 RBIs), Fred Clarke, Frank Chance (Triple), and Pat Crisham (Triple) each getting 2 hits on the day. Honus Wagner went 2 for 5 (2 Doubles, 1 RBI) in the losing effort.

Player of the Game: Cy Young (Season: #4 / Career: #4)


Game 31: Not that Noodles Hahn really ever needs much help, but to give him 14 runs on the day is just simply too much for the opposing team to overcome. Riding the ace arm of Hahn and an offense that generated 18 hits, the Boston Americans (21-10) topped the Philadelphia Athletics (12-19) by a score of 14 to 2. Hahn was dialed in, tossing a complete game 5-hitter in which he allowed just 2 earned runs, struck out 7, and finished with a Game Score of 73. Six Boston batters had multiple hits on the day, led by Fred Clarke (3 for 5, 2 Runs, 2 RBIs, and league leading .437 batting average) and Frank Chance (3 for 5, Double, 1 Run, 1 RBI). Of note, Honus Wagner's consecutive game hitting streak came to an end at 25 games.

Game 32: Not to be outdone by his teammate Noodles Hahn, Jesse Tannehill reminded baseball pundits and fans alike that he has the makings of an All-Star pitcher. Tannehill (6-2), in cruising to his 4th consecutive victory, tossed 1 earned run on 9 hits (Game Score of 67) to give Boston (22-10) the 6 to 1 victory over Philadelphia (12-20). With another outstanding outing, Tannehill lowered his ERA to 1.67; second best in the American League. At the plate, Boston was led by Dave Brain (2 for 4, Triple, 1 Run, 2 RBIs) and Ossee Schreckengost (2 for 4, 1 Run). In the loss, Philadelphia third baseman Billy Clingman went 4 for 4 on the day.
