The Milwaukee Brewers traveled to the Bay State to take on the Boston Americans for a 3-game matchup. While the Brewers kept things close, Boston was able to take 2 of 3 games to move to a 4-1 record for the month of June.


Game 60: It took a late-inning comeback, but Boston (36-24) was able to pull out the 5-2 victory of the Brewers (23-37). The win largely rests with the solid pitching performance of Boston pitcher Jesse Tannehill (10-5) who allowed 2 earned runs on 8 hits while striking out 7 to finish a Game Score of 70. Milwaukee pitcher Jack Sutthoff (4-10) took the loss after giving up 5 earned runs on 10 hits and 2 walks, Game Score of 42. Fred Clarke (2 for 4, Double, 1 Run), Bill Lange (2 for 4, Triple, 1 Run, 2 RBIs, Kid Elberfeld (2 for 4, 1 Run, 1 RBI), and Jesse Tannehill (2 for 3, 1 Run, 1 RBI) led the Americans hitting attack. Jimmy Barrett (2 for 4) and Jack Slattery (2 for 4, 1 Run) paced the Brewers. This was a rare game in which the Americans did not commit an error.

Player of the Game: Jesse Tannehill (Season: #11 / Career: #11)


Game 61: Honestly, I am not sure how he does it but Boston pitcher Fred Klobedanz (10-5) was in the zone as he tossed a 3-hit shutout, striking out 5 (Game Score of 86) to lead the Americans (37-24) to a 5 to 0 victory over the Brewers (23-38). Milwaukee pitcher Tom Hughes (6-10) lasted 7 innings, allowing 2 runs (0 earned) while scattering 7 hits, 2 walks, and 8 strikeouts to finish with a Game Score of 65. Patsy Flaherty was roughed up in his 1 inning of relief (3 runs) on 3 hits. Boston hitters came ready to play, belting 5 extra-base hits out of the 10 recorded hits, led by Bill Lange (2 for 5, Double, 1 Run, 1 RBI) and Kid Elberfeld (1 for 4, Triple, 2 RBIs). While Klobedanz had the Brewers largely in check, he had no answer for Jimmy Barrett who went 3 for 4 on the day.

Game 62: A late-inning rally by the Brewers (24-38) locked up the 3 to 2 win over the Americans (37-25). Milwaukee pitcher Bill Dinneen (7-7) allowed 2 runs (1 earned) while giving up 6 hits and 3 walks for a Game Score of 70. Cy Young (7-7) took the loss, allowing 3 runs (2 earned) on 8 hits (5 of which were for extra-bases) and 2 walks with Game Score of 67. Brewers catcher Fritz Buelow (2 for 4, Triple, SB) and leftfielder Kip Selbach (1 for 3, Triple, 1 Run, 1 RBI, 1 Walk) provided the needed batting punch.
