Athletics Ding Tigers, 8-3
The Oakland Athletics beat the Detroit Tigers, 8-3. Oakland pitcher and The United States, native Chief Bender led the way. The Athletics now own a record of 31-23.

Had Al Simmons not delivered a key base hit in the bottom of the seventh, the outcome might have been different. Instead, with two down and a runner on 2nd, Simmons hit a run-scoring single. That made the score 4-3, in favor of the Athletics.

"Chief went out and got the job done," said Athletics manager .
