Games 27-28: St. Louis Browns vs. Boston Americans
The St. Louis Browns came into town to take on the Boston Americans in a 3-game series. Because the month ends after the second game, I will share the first couple of games to keep the reports clean for the month and then report the final game as a stand alone entry.
Game 27: While Jesse Tannehill pitched well enough to pick up a win, this was all about the Boston Americans' (20-7) hitters smacking out 16 hits to top the St. Louis Browns (12-15) by a score of 10 to 4. Tannehill (6-1) allowed 4 runs (2 earned) on 6 hits and 3 walks for a Game Score of 64. Frank Owen (3-4) was tagged with the loss after giving up 10 runs (7 earned) on 15 hits and 2 walks; Game Score of 13. Dave Brain (3 for 3, Home Run, 1 Run, 5 RBIs), Fred Clarke (4 for 5, 2 Runs, 2 RBIs, and Kid Elberfeld (2 for 5, Triple, 3 Runs, 1 RBI) powered the home team. A few oddities from this game: St. Louis Browns committed 8 errors, and the Boston Americans were caught 6 times during attempted steals.
Player of the Game: Dave Brain (Season: #1 / Career: #1)
Game 28: A close game that ultimately turned on fielding miscues, with the St. Louis Browns (13-15) beating the Boston Americans (20-8) by a 2 to 0 score. Bill Dinneen (4-3) picked up the victory by allowing just 2 hits and 2 walks for a Game Score of 83. Sam Leever (4-1) took his first loss of the year despite allowing 2 runs (0 earned) on 4 hits and 3 walks; Game Score of 75. Kip Selbach (1 for 2, 1 Run, 2 Walks) played well in the win.
