Monday, April 26

Boston 4, Washington 1

Mel Parnell fanned seven and held Washington to just five hits for a complete game victory in his first start of the year. The offense for Boston took advantage of its four extra-base hits, three of which were triples, by scoring a run each time. Washington's lone one, a triple by Eddie Yost, also led to their only run of the game.
