1907 – After Cleveland’s Addie Joss fired a one-hitter against the Highlanders yesterday, teammate Heinie Berger matches him today, also against hapless New York. This is the second time this century that teammates have thrown back-to-back one-hitters.
After setting a major league record of being shutout for 48 consecutive innings, the A’s finally score a run thanks to Harry Davis’ two-run double. The Mackmen, however, still lose to the Cleveland Naps, 5-3.
In the second shortened no-hitter in three days, Lefty Leifield of Pittsburgh hurls a 6-inning no-hitter against Philadelphia, winning, 8 – 0. Pittsburgh wins by a shutout in the first game as well.
Rookie OF Jack Cameron of Boston, after one relief appearance, gets a starting assignment against the Cardinals. Leadoff batter Tom O’Hara beats out an infield single. Al Burch’s line drive hits Cameron in the head, and caroms back on a fly to C Jack O’Neill, who throws to Fred Tenney at 1B, doubling off O’Hara. Cameron retires with one assist and a headache. This is his last major league game.

Washington’s Joe Stanley hits his second and last career homer and like his first, it’s a grand slam.
The Giants top the Pirates, 9 – 5, with the help of eight walks and hit by pitch in six innings by usually steady Mike Lynch. Red Ames goes six innings to pick up the win, and Christy Mathewson tosses the last three innings of shutout ball.
Chicago White Sox P Ed Walsh hurls two complete game victories over Boston, winning by scores of 10 – 5 and 3 – 1. When Doc White leaves the first game without retiring a batter in the 1st inning, Walsh comes in without warming up. He gives up five runs in the 1st, then blanks Boston the rest of the way.
At Philadelphia, A’s starter Andy Coakley pitches seven innings and is behind 4 – 2 against the Tigers when he departs. The A’s knot the score up with runs in the 7th and 8th, and reliever Jimmy Dygert tosses the last three innings. When the Tigers score two in the 10th to win, the official scorer pins the loss on Coakley for pitching badly (later revisions will give the loss to Dygert, and Coakley’s record of 20-7 will be the American League’s best winning percentage).
