This was a great pitching matchup that featured two of the games best young stars. In the end, Johnny Lush led his Boston Americans (65-46) to a 1 to 0 victory over Weldon Henley and the St. Louis Browns (54-57). Boston now has a 2-game lead in the American League race.

While once again getting little run support from his team (season average of 3.6 runs per game), Johnny Lush (15-12) tossed a 6-hit shutout gem in which he walked 2 batters and struck out 5 in his 112-pitch outing; Game Score 78. Weldon Henley (14-14) was the tough-luck victim in this matchup, as he limited Boston to just 1 earned run on 5 hits, 1 walk, and 1 wild pitch; Game Score 75.

While offense was limited today, there were a few noteworthy performances that warrant mention. For the Americans, Johnny Lush (1 for 3, Double, Run) and Homer Smoot (1 for 1, RBI) played well, while for St. Louis Charlie Babb (2 for 3, Double, Walk) and Bill Fallon (2 for 4) hit the ball well.

Player of the Game: Johnny Lush (Season: #17 / Career: #17)
