August 16, 1906 Update
The National League race has tightened up as August reaches its midpoint.
The Pittsburgh Pirates have charged into the fray, winning all 13 of their
games so far this month, including a four-game sweep of the first-place
Giants and gaining six games on the front-runners to sit just two back. The
Phillies have dropped back to nine behind the Giants and need to get back
on track to remain in the chase.
The American League champion Senators got their ace pitcher back in the
fold this month. After missing three months, Harlan Holladay returned to
the mound in August and has posted a 2-1 record and 1.80 ERA so far this
month. Overall, Washington is 8-3 thus far and now has a 5.5 game edge on
the Cleveland Blues.
