Edwards Leads Athletics to 6-4 Win Over Red Sox
Hank Edwards helped his team muscle past the Boston Red Sox, 6-4. In the game, the Philadelphia right fielder went 4 for 5 with a home run and 3 singles, while scoring 2 runs and driving in 3. Philadelphia reliever Hank Behrman picked up the win, upping his record to 1-0. Red Munger took the loss. Al Hollingsworth recorded the save, his 1st.

Had Edwards not come through in the bottom of the eighth, who knows how the game would've ended? But with two down, Edwards hit a 2-run single. The Athletics took the lead, 5-4, and never looked back.

Philadelphia manager Connie Mack commended his team for "banging out a nice win."

Boston falls to 4-10.
