In Cleveland it's a wild one. 3-2 after 1, White Sox up. 5-3 after 3, 5-4 after 4, Sox still leading. Cleveland jumps them in the 7th for 3 to lead 7-5 but the White Sox get 6 in the top of the 8th and 1 in the 9th and then hold off a furious 9th inning Indian rally to win 12-10. Clevelands Tommy Adee goes 2-4 with 2 HR's (30) and 5 RBi's in the loss.
In Chicago the Pirates, behind rookie Brian McCann's 40th HR and Nelson Mathews 4-5 3B, HR (6) and 6 RBI's rout the Cubs while Cincy SP John Patterson overcoms early issues to win his 23rd (23-11) with Steve Crawford saving his 16th, and Cincy clinches at least a tie with 5 games remaining.
