A great way to finish the 3-game series, as the 6,359 hometown fans watched their beloved Boston Americans (45-41) jump out to an early 4 to 0 lead and cruise to a 5 to 1 victory over the New York Highlanders (51-35).

Cy Young (7-13) earned the win, allowing just 1 earned run on 8 hits and 1 walk (112 total pitches); Game Score 68. Addie Joss (14-8) took the loss after surrendering 5 runs (3 earned).

At the plate, John Farrell (2 for 4, Triple, Run, RBI), Jiggs Donahue (2 for 4, RBI, Stolen Base), and Fred Clarke (2 for 3, Run, RBI, Walk) contributed in the win, while the Highlanders received batting help from Jesse Burkett (3 for 4, Double, Run), Addie Joss (2 for 3), and Emil Frisk (1 for 1, RBI).

Player of the Game: Cy Young (Season: #6 / Career: #38)
