Tigers Win As Rivals All Lose! Detroit ball club 1/2 game out of first; Foxx is tied for first in hitting, keeping triple crown hopes alive; Pennock "exhausted" say doctors - may not be able to join team on final road trip*
Tigers Win 3-2 Duel in Philadelphia
Bridges holds of Foxx, A's for narrow win
White Sox Cool Off Red Hot Yankees, 8-2
Simmons has big day at plate for ChiSox
Red Sox Lose Narrow Game to Cleveland, 5-4Pennock ineffective as starter for Boston
Nats Win Over Browns, 9-7Washington team, once contenders, now struggles to stay north of .500
* In reality, Herb Pennock did not pitch after August, and Hall of Fame researchers tell me its unlikely he joined the team for their month long September road trip (!). In real life, Boston was out of it, so this would make sense. Had Boston been in the thick of it though, it's likely Pennock would have continued. I've therefore decided that he will travel with the team in September. Because he has already reached his historical innings pitched, though, he will be used very sparingly.

been through this many times - it's the nature of the game. We'll be fine -
as for me - I'll be ready to go again tomorrow!'
