The Giants, 2-13 and in last place, open their western swing with a 13 – 5 win at Pittsburgh. New York uses three pitchers, and pounds three Buc hurlers for 16 hits. New York will win their next 16 games.

The Red Sox and Dutch Leonard stop the Cleveland Indians, 5 – 1, ending the first-place Tribe’s 8-game win streak. The game marks Tris Speaker’s return to Boston, and 15,000 cheer his every move. After one inning Speaker inadvertently heads into the Sox dugout, much to the crowd’s delight.

Thirty walks are allowed at Philadelphia as Detroit overwhelms the A’s, 16 – 2. Tiger rookie George Cunningham is lifted with one out in the 3rd inning after walking six batters. He is given the win, but leaves with a no-hitter and leading 9 – 0. Eighteen of the walks are issued by the A’s – 12 by reliever Carl Ray – on their way to a season total of 715. Not until 1938 will a team (the St. Louis Browns with 737) top that. Detroit will add another 11 walks against the A’s tomorrow for a two-game major-league record of 29.
