Boston Wins Fourth Straight in Narrow Victory Over Washington
Boston, led by Lewis, beat Washington 4 to 1 in a game marked by strong fielding from Long and Lowe. Wrigley was injured, ending his season, as Boston stretched their league lead with key hits including Long’s two-base drive and a late scoring sequence.
