White Sox IF Ray Morehart gets 9 hits in 10 at bats in a doubleheader, a record that has been matched but never broken.

Bill Sherdel and Allen Sothoron pitch the Cards back into first place with 6 – 1 and 2 – 1 wins over the Pirates.

Using the same lineup in both games, the Indians sweep a twin bill from Boston at Fenway Park, 6-1 and 5-1. The Tribe’s right-hander Emil ‘Dutch’ Levsen, who will become the last major league pitcher to win two complete game victories in one day, accomplishes the feat without striking out a batter in either game.

1926 – Veteran P Dutch Ruether is picked up from Washington by the Yankees.

Senators hurler Walter Johnson (408) bests Red Faber (197) and the White Sox at Griffith Stadium, 9-3. The veteran pitchers have accumulated the largest amount of victories, a total of 605, for two hurlers who start the same game, a record which will not be broken until Tom Seaver faces Don Sutton in 1986.

1926 – Pittsburgh RF Paul Waner goes 6 for 6, including 2 doubles and a triple, in a game against St. Louis.

1926 – The Cardinals regain first place in the National League, but the next day the Pirates retake the high ground.

1926 – After three games with the Tigers are rained out at home, Connie Mack and Tom Shibe decide that Sunday baseball is entitled to be played. Armed with a court injunction preventing police from interfering, they play the first Sunday game ever seen in Philadelphia. A light rain holds the crowd to 10,000, but Lefty Grove sets down the White Sox, 3 – 2, without incident. A court later rules Sunday baseball still illegal; it will be 1934 before that law changes in Philadelphia.

Rabbit Maranville, hitting .235, is released by the Robins.
