Baseball can be a tough game to predict. Last series, Boston went up against a Baltimore Orioles team that has struggled all year and, at least on paper, was outmatched, yet they somehow take 2 of 3 from the Americans. Fast forward to this series, and the 1st place Detroit Tigers come into town with the best record in baseball, a top-to-bottom All-Star lineup, and Boston somehow proceeds to sweep them. Go Figure...

Game 87: After the disappointing outing by Noodles Hahn in the last series, the Boston Americans (49-38) needed Jesse Tannehill to come up big -- he did. Tannehill (14-7) limited the Detroit Tigers (61-26) to just 1 unearned run on 3 hits for the 5 to 1 victory; Game Score of 82. John Malarkey (15-6) took the loss after allowing 5 runs (4 earned) on 14 hits and 4 walks; Game Score of 33. Win Mercer (3 for 5, Triple, 1 Run, 3 RBIs), John Farrell (3 for 3, Double, 3 Runs, 1 Walk), and Jesse Tannehill (2 for 4, 1 RBI) powered the Boston offense. If there was a negative for the Americans, it was the fact they committed 3 more errors; 2 by Kid Elberfeld (49 on the season).

Player of the Game: Jesse Tannehill (Season: #15 / Career: #15)

Game 88: Jesse Hoffmeister may not be a nationally known player, but the hometown fans know that when he is locked in he can be a difference maker. Today was one of those days, as Hoffmeister (3 for 4, Double, Triple, 2 Runs, 2 RBIs) powered Boston (50-38) to a 7 to 4 victory over the Tigers (61-27). Cy Young (11-10) picked up the win despite allowing 4 runs (3 earned) for a Game Score of 61. Nixey Callahan (12-9) took the loss after allowing 7 runs (4 earned) on 11 hits for a Game Score of 33.

Player of the Game: Jesse Hoffmeister (Season: #1 / Career: #1)

Game 89: The Americans (51-38) completed the sweep with a 4 to 1 victory over the Tigers (61-28). Fred Klobedanz (12-9) earned the win by allowing just 1 earned run on 5 hits and 2 walks; Game Score of 74. Bill Lange (3 for 4, Triple, 2 Runs, 2 RBIs) and John Farrell (2 for 4, Double) had a fine day at the plate. Doc White (16-7) was saddled with the loss, giving up 4 earned runs on 9 hits and 2 walks; Game Score of 53.
