Phillies Top Giants, 6-3
The Philadelphia Phillies defeated the New York Giants, 6-3, in 10 innings. Jesse Burkett, who finished 3rd in the EL in slugging percentage with .457 in 1905, played a big role. Burkett threw 10.0 innings of 8-hit ball for the Phillies in the win. New York has now lost 10 in a row.

Burkett had a game-changing double in the top of the tenth. On a 0-1 slider from Matt Adams, he banged a bases-clearing double to left, giving the Phillies a 6-3 lead. It was the 11th double of the year for Burkett.

"We're learning some lessons in the school of hard knocks," philosophized losing manager Graham Haddon.
