The lads do what is necessary, finally putting together a decent string of games to finish 17-8 for August. That said, we're still 8 GB the Jints and with < 30 to play one would think we'll really need everything to go our way for us to even go close to catching them.
This despite our pitching remaining incredibly inconsistent. Mathewson has not been the saviour we had hoped, and posts an ugly 4.66 ERA for the month.
The bats, on the other hand, continue to save us time and again, with Campbell and Carey leading the way, supported by Herzog, Harvey and an improved showing from Bresnahan.
The Tigers continue to hold the Sox at bay, but the AL is still very much in play. Expanded standings and awards.
