The pennant race is heating up! Boston still is on the top of the heap, but Brooklyn has inched ever closer and now trails by a mere one game. Meanwhile, New York has gone on an 8-2 tear to begin the month and has closed to within three games of the lead. And finally, the St. Louis Cardinals are also within shouting distance, sitting 4.5 behind.
In the chase to join Tom Ewart in the 3000-hit club, Cincinnati's Otto Bentz is now just nine safeties shy while Brooklyn's superb Charlie Shanafelt is back from injury and just ten hits from the milestone.
