Top 8th: Nap Lajoie robbed Edd Roush of a base hit. Fred Merkle had 4 hits and 3 RBI as the Detroit Tigers beat the Cincinnati Reds by a score of 8 to 5. Merkle was a thorn in the side of the hometown fans as he enjoyed a fine day at their team's expense. He cracked a solo homerun in the 2nd inning, banged out a single which plated a run in the 3rd inning, delivered a one-base hit in the 5th inning and singled resulting in a run in the 9th inning. Cincinnati was not lacking for run support as they scored in 5 separate innings, yet victory eluded them as they seemed to forget that pitching is also needed to win ballgames. The victory was credited to Wilbur Cooper(1-1) who went 8 innings, allowing 5 runs. Slim Sallee(0-4) was the loser. He was knocked around by Detroit, allowing 10 hits and 3 walks in 7 innings.
