A dominate pitching performance by rookie Johnny Lush combined with an offense that put the ball in play led to an easy 12 to 0 victory for the Boston Americans (27-23) over the visiting St. Louis Browns (27-23). The win moves the Americans back into a tie for the AL lead.

While he has had his struggles this season, Johnny Lush (7-6) was locked in today, as he allowed just 3 hits and 1 walk in his 95-pitch complete game shutout; Game Score 84. Andy Coakley (6-7) was knocked from the game after just 5 1/3 innings of play in which he allowed 9 runs (8 earned) on 9 hits and 3 walks; Game Score 16. Jesse Stovall covered the final 2 2/3 innings of play in which he permitted 3 runs (0 earned) on 5 hits.

Boston's offense was in full support of Lush today, as the Americans pounded out 14 hits (6 for extra bases). Leading the way were Solly Hofman (3 for 5, 2 Doubles, Run, RBI), Bill Lange (2 for 5, 2 Doubles, Run, 3 RBIs), Frank Chance (2 for 4, Run, RBI, Walk, 2 Stolen Bases), and Kid Elberfed (2 for 4, Double, 3 Runs, RBI, Walk). The Browns offense fizzled, as it eked out just 3 harmless singles on the day.
