Fenway Fables

June 26, 1918 at the Polo Grounds
Yankees 3, Red Sox 1  (37-26)

The Yankees took game three in their series with the Red Sox and the Red Sox lead in the American League once again slipped to a single game despite a solid outing by Carl Mays.  Mays gave up three runs on six hits and three walks with four strikeouts and the runs he gave up in the second stopped his scoreless inning streak at 35 innings.

Babe Ruth’s double almost cleared the fence but he did eventually score the lone run of the game anyway.  Stuffy McInnis singled and that was the hit that drove in Ruth.
