Game 32: Boston Americans vs. Chicago White Sox
The losing streak continues, as the Chicago White Sox (16-16) swept the visiting Boston Americans (17-15) by a score of 9 to 5. Despite the losing streak, the Americans remain at the top of the American League standings; albeit in a 4-way tie with the Highlanders, Tigers, and Senators.
Bill Phillips (4-4) was the winning pitcher, despite allowing 5 earned runs on 8 hits and 1 walk; Game Score 55. Sam Leever (4-3) was saddled with the loss but this was due to his team's lousy defensive play; 9 runs (0 earned) on 9 hits, 5 walks, and 1 hit batsman in 7 1/3 innings of play; Game Score 37. Ham Iburg pitched the final 2/3 inning of the game.
