For reasons unknow, the Chicago White Sox elected to send pitcher Brickyard Kennedy back to the mound to start the game for the second consecutive day. Needless to say, it did not go well for Chicago, as the Boston Americans (86-41) seized upon the gaffe and thumped the Chicago White Sox (48-79) by a 7 to 0 score.

Boston pitcher Jesse Tannehill (21-11) picked up the win as he limited the opposition to 3 hits and 2 hit batsman during the 78 pitch shutout; Game Score of 82. Brickyard Kennedy did not fare well in this odd situation, allowing 7 earned runs on 11 hits and 2 walks in 7 1/3 innings of play; Game Score of 27. Reliever Sadie McMahon covered the final 1 2/3 innings, giving up just 1 hit and 1 walk. The Americans were led at the plate by Dave Brain (2 for 4, Double, 1 Run), Fred Clarke (2 for 3, 1 Run, 1 RBI, 1 Walk), John Farrell (2 for 4, 1 Run, 2 RBIs, 1 Stolen Base), and Chick Stahl (2 for 5, 1 Run, 1 RBI, 1 Stolen Base).

Player of the Game: Jesse Tannehill (Season: #18 / Career: #39)

***I have no idea why the game sent Kennedy to the mound 2 days in a row. The team had rested starters and cannot see any injuries.***

The Chicago White Sox (49-79) wisely did not send Brickyard Kennedy out to the mound for a 3rd consecutive day, this time turning the ball over to Fred Glade who led the team to a 1 to 0 victory over the Boston Americans (86-42).

Glade (19-19) was outstanding, scattering 7 hits and 2 walks on his way to a Game Score of 75. Cy Young (21-9) pitched well but came up on the losing side of things, allowing 1 earned run on 6 hits and 2 walks; Game Score of 70.

Chicago's lone run was scored by Fred Glade (1 for 2, 1 Run, 1 Walk) after being driven in by Mike Grady (1 for 3, 1 RBI). Chick Stahl (2 for 4, 1 Stolen Base) and Dave Brain (1 for 3, Double) played well in the loss.

Posts: 3,886	Game 137: Boston Americans vs. Washington Senators A competitive, albeit sloppy, game that turned on errors, allowing the Washington Senators (66-71) to top the Boston Americans (92-45) by a score of 5 to 4. With both defenses committing 6 errors each, it was an uphill battle for both starting pitchers. In the end, Rube Waddell (22-14) picked up the win by allowing 4 runs (3 earned) on 11 hits while striking out 5 to finish with a Game Score of 56. Noodles Hahn was the victim of his team's shoddy defense, as he allowed 5 runs (0 earned) on 11 hits and 2 walks; Game Score of 51. With a combined 22 hits between the teams, there were several fine hitting outcomes, led by Bobby Wallace (2 for 4, Triple, 1 Run, 1 RBI, 1 Walk) and Roy Brashear (2 for 4, 1 Run, 1 RBI, 1 Walk) for the Senators, while Kid Elberfeld (3 for 4, Double, Triple, 1 Run, 1 RBI), Bill Lange (3 for 5, 1 RBI, 3 Stolen Bases), and Frank Chance (2 for 4, Triple, 1 Run, 1 Stolen Base) played well for Boston.

Posts: 3,886	Game 139: Cleveland Bronchos vs. Boston Americans An 11-run 2nd inning made for an easy victory for the Boston Americans (94-45) over the Cleveland Bronchos (62-77) by a lopsided score of 14 to 1. Starter Jesse Tannehill (24-11) had a tremendous game in which he allowed just 1 earned run on 2 hits and 2 walks to finish with a Game Score of 79. Kid Nichols (15-20) was knocked out of the game after just 1 2/3 innings, allowing 9 earned runs on 8 hits and 2 walks; Game Score of -4 (yikes!). Jim Hughey didn't fair much better, as he allowed 5 earned runs on 9 hits and 1 walk over 5 1/3 innings. "Wild Bill" Donovan pitched a perfect final inning to finish the game. With Boston's 17 hits, there were several players that warrant mention, including Jiggs Donahue (3 for 3, Homerun, 3 Runs, 3 RBIs, 1 Walk), Dave Brain (3 for 5, Double, 2 Triples, 3 Runs, 3 RBIs), Kid Elberfeld (3 for 5, Double, 3 Runs, 3 RBIs), and John Farrell (3 for 4, Double, 1 Run, 2 RBIs). Special Note: Dave Brain tied an American League regular season game record with 2 Triples.
