Ouch, not the way Boston wanted to start the 2nd-half of the 1901 season, as the Detroit Tigers steamrolled the Americans and showed why they have stayed in the top spot in the American League standings. Getting swept drops Boston back to 3rd place; 9 games out of the lead.

Game 66: An error-filled game by the Americans (39-27) coupled to a dominant pitching performance by Detroit (46-20) pitcher Togie Pittinger resulted in the Tigers 3 to 0 victory over Boston. Pittinger (12-5) limited the opposition to just 4 hits and 1 walk, striking out 5 and finishing with a Game Score of 83. Noodles Hahn (11-7) allowed 3 runs (2 earned) on 7 hits and 1 walk; Game Score of 59. Detroit third baseman Tom O'Brien added to his AL leading batting average (.373) by going 2 for 3 with 2 Runs.

Game 67: Boston (39-28) had this game in hand only to see it slip away with 2 outs in the bottom of the 9th inning with no one on base as the Tigers (47-20) stormed back to take the game 4 to 3. Detroit pitcher John Malarkey (14-3) allowed 3 earned runs on 10 hits and 1 walk, striking out 6, and finish with a Game Score of 60. Cy Young (8-8) gave up 4 earned runs on 12 hits and 3 walks; Game Score of 48.
