George Pipgras tosses his third shutout of the season as the New York Yankees again support his pitching by bombing the host Boston Red Sox, 11 – 0. Babe Ruth hits an Ed Morris pitch over the right field bleachers, for one of the longest home runs ever at Fenway Park.

Washington wins a doubleheader from Philadelphia and moves into first place. Bump Hadley wins the opener, 5 – 3, and Ad Liska adds a three-hit, 4 – 0 shutout in the nitecap, beating George Earnshaw. Joe Judge’s three-run homer in the 8th puts the game away.

1930 – The A’s conquer the Indians, 6 – 4 at Philadelphia. Jimmie Foxx’s 7th-inning triple with two on breaks the tie.

The Yankees’ and the Tigers’ outfielders make only two putouts for an American League record which has never been equaled. The National League record for outfield idleness is one chance (Pittsburgh versus Brooklyn on August 26, 1910). Detroit’s George Uhle strikes out 8 in winning, 5 – 4, and dropping the Yanks to 7th place. Hank Johnson (7 innings) and George Pipgras are the New York hurlers.

The Red Sox trade Red Ruffing to the Yankees for $50,000 and Cedric Durst, who will hit .245 in 102 games during his only season in Boston. New York’s new right-hander, a future Hall of Famer, will post a 231-124 (.651) record along with an ERA of 3.47 during his 15 seasons with the Bronx ball club.

Joe Sewell’s consecutive streak ends at 1,103 games when he doesn’t appear in a game against the Red Sox at Fenway Park due to having a fever of 102 degrees. The Indians shortstop, who hasn’t missed a game since 1922, is only 204 games shy of the all-time record of 1,307 games set in 1925 by Yankee shortstop Everett Scott.
