An exciting game that saw the Boston Americans (33-27) pick up the 3 to 2 victory over the visiting New York Highlanders (29-31). The win, coupled to a Detroit loss, moves the Americans into a tie for 1st-place in the American League standings.

With his 5th consecutive win, Sam Leever (9-5) limited the opposition to just 2 earned runs on 8 hits and 2 walks; Game Score 62. Wiley Piatt (6-8) was saddled with the loss despite allowing 3 earned runs on 8 hits and 4 walks; Game Score 55.

The timely hitting of John Farrell (3 for 4, Double, RBI), Frank Chance (1 for 2, RBI, 2 Walks, Stolen Base), and Fred Clarke (1 for 3, Triple, Run) powered the Boston offense. Lave Cross (2 for 4, Double, RBI) and Fred Odwell (2 for 3, Run) played well in the loss.

Player of the Game: Sam Leever (Season: #7 / Career: #43)
