The Blue Jays are the first team to start 6 players from the Dominican Republic in the same game, as their line-up against the Red Sox features SS Jose Reyes, LF Melky Cabrera, CF Jose Bautista, 1B Edwin Encarnacion, DH Juan Francisco and RF Moises Sierra. There is joy in Santo Domingo as the proto-Dominican national team wins, 7 – 1, behind a strong performance by R.A. Dickey, one of only two U.S.-born players among the Jays’ 10 starters (the other is battery-mate Josh Thole).

Red Sox pitcher Rube Foster allows three hits in beating the Browns, 1 – 0. Most of the hitting in the game comes when Browns 3B Jimmy Austin and Boston C Pinch Thomas mix it up. The Sox end the day .002 ahead of the White Sox, but will take three out of four in Chicago to open up some room.

Teams are bracing for the arrival of Hurricane Irene, scheduled to hit the Northeastern states over the next two days. The Mets cancel their games scheduled for both days as New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg orders a partial evacuation of the city’s coastal areas and a shutdown of its transit system in anticipation of the storm. The Red Sox decide to move up their Sunday game against the A’s to a Saturday afternoon doubleheader, while the Orioles are planning to cancel a Saturday doubleheader against the Yankees by playing one of the games as part of a Sunday doubleheader, and the second on what should have been an open date on September 8th. The Yankees are unhappy about losing what was their last scheduled rest day of the season, but their proposal to play a game instead at 10:00 am on Saturday is rejected. The Phillies also move games around, electing to play a scheduled Sunday game against the Marlins on Saturday afternoon, and moving Saturday’s evening game to September 15th. All of these scheduling changes are made before the first drop of rain even falls.
