Bernhard pitches, and hits Athletics back to .500
Bill Bernhard had great stuff on the mound today as he held the Brewers to only five hits in the 2-1 Athletics win. Bernhard helped himself at the plate as well, driving in a run in the Philadelphia 4th inning. That run would end up being the deciding factor when the Brewers pushed one across in the home 4th. Philadelphia is back to .500 at 12-12 while the Brewers have sunk to 8-17.

Shugart drives in three in ChiSox win

Frank Shugart (pictured) drove in the go ahead run twice, and the last time provided the winning margin. Shugart roped a 2-run single in the 3rd that gave the Sox a 3-1 lead. The Athletics fought back and eventually took the lead in the 7th inning. In the Sox 8th, Fred Hartman tripled in the tying run, and then Shugart provided the winning run by lifting a sacrifice fly. Philadelphia drops below .500 (11-12) with the loss while the Sox are now 11-15.

Blues hope O'Brien provides an outfield answer
The Cleveland Blues signed Jack O'Brien, late of the Washington ballclub, to a contract today. O'Brien hit .286 with 11 runs batted in while with the Senators, and the Blues are hoping he will assist their production in the outfield. O'Brien, a 28-year old native of Watervliet, New York will also provide a much needed left handed bat. He's expected to replace Frank Genins, as Genins has struggled along hitting a mere .208 this season.

Kennedy quells late Orphan uprising

Brickyard Kennedy (pictured) was called on in the 9th inning of today's game, to close out the rallying Chicago club. Kennedy required only eight pitches to get the job done. Doc McJames (2-1) got the win, but was heavily fatigued in the 9th inning when Superbas skipper, Ned Hanlon made the call to the bullpen. Brooklyn, with today's win, is two games in front in the National League.

Lajoie's triple decisive blow in running win streak to six

Nap Lajoie (pictured) roped a triple in the 10th inning, plating one and he later scored on a Seybold groundout.
