Fenway Fables

June 24, 1918 at the Polo Grounds
Yankees 3, Red Sox 2  (36-25)

The Red Sox and Yankees squared off in a battle of first and second place teams and it was the Yankees who came out on top in the opener.  The Sox offense was held to just two runs on three hits and the loss came despite a solid outing by Joe Bush.  All three hits were singles and it was Harry Hooper and Sam Agnew who scored the three runs.

Bush took his third straight loss in the contest.  He gave up three runs on seven hits and four walks with three strikeouts.
