The Philadelphia Athletics handed the Boston Americans a loss at Fenway Park. The final score was 8-5. Matt Olson was one of the major contributors for Philadelphia. In addition to his 1 single and 1 home run, he scored 2 runs and drove in 4. Philadelphia is now 79-34, 20 games up in the AL.

With Philadelphia leading 3-1 in the top of the fifth, Olson hit a fastball from John Clarkson for a grand slam home run. It was his 21st home run of the season and put the Athletics ahead, 7-1.

"We're in a marathon, not a sprint," Olson said in postgame remarks. "Soon enough, the finish line will be in sight."
