Boston Red Sox lose a playoff game for the American League pennant.

The Red Sox lose to the Cleveland Indians 8-3 at Fenway Park in the first one-game playoff for the American League pennant. Red Sox manager Joe McCarthy is later criticized for starting 36-year-old journeyman pitcher Denny Galehouse in the game. The Red Sox loss prevents a “streetcar series” with the Braves, who won the National League pennant
