Reds trail Giants by half game in tight NL race
The Cincinnati Reds, buoyed by strong pitching, sharp defense led by Bughie Crite, and timely hitting, sit within half a game of the New York Giants atop the National League standings. Red Lucas won his sixth of seven starts as Cincinnati crushed the Boston Braves 3–0, logging six hits allowed and driving in a run with a triple. The Reds also turned two double plays to raise their season total to 40. In other action, St. Louis defeated Philadelphia 3–2 behind a nine-strikeout effort from Grover Cleveland Alexander, while the Phillies traded Jimmy Wilson, who moved to St. Louis midgame to catch for his new club.
