An easy win for the Sam Leever led Boston Americans (63-46), as they topped the visiting Philadelphia Athletics (53-56) by a 7 to 1 score. As the 8,363 fans in the stadium cheered him on, Leever remained sharp as the game progressed. Boston remains tied atop of the American League standings.

The magic of Sam Leever (18-7) continues, as he kept the Athletics in check by limiting them to just 1 earned run on 5 hits and 2 walks in his 131-pitch effort; Game Score 74. Taking the loss for Philadelphia was Mordecai Brown (13-15), who permitted 7 runs (6 earned) on 9 hits and 2 walks in 6 innings of play; Game Score 26.
