July 1901

In the National League, Pittsburgh's slide would continue while the Giants continued to streak. The Giants caught and surpassed the Pirates, mostly on the second best offense in the league and the second best pitching staff in the majors led by Mathewson and Taylor. The Pirates pitching staff has been struggling this year, and it is starting to show in the standings.

Over in the American League, the Baltimore Orioles refuse to go away. After the Tigers jumped ahead of the Orioles last month, Baltimore had a very good month and jumped back ahead of the Tigers by half a game. The American League race is looking like it will go down to the wire.
