Fenway Fables

June 7, 1918 at League Park
Indians 14, Red Sox 7  (28-18)

Red Sox pitchers gave up more runs in this one then in any other game in the 1918 season as the Indians retook the lead in their four game series with the Red Sox.  Even worse, the loss came with the Red Sox scoring four runs in the first inning.  Dutch Leonard didn’t even make it through the third, which was the Indians first six run inning.  In all, the Red Sox used six pitchers in this one, including starters Joe Bush and Sam Jones.

Babe Ruth had a pair of hits and he scored a run.  Harry Hooper doubled, tripled and scored a run.
