Six of the eight scheduled games in the major leagues saw action on September 10, 1920, including a double header in Detroit. The Tigers beat the Athletics 4-0 in the first game for the low scoring game of the day. The Dodgers, playing in Brooklyn, down the Cardinals 9-8 in eleven innings for the high scoring game of the day.

The Dodgers had to come back twice in that contest. Down 5-3 in the ninth, Ray Schmandt comes to the plate and singles in one run, then Ivy Olson repeats the sequence to tie the game. The Cardinals then score three times in the top of the eleventh inning to take an 8-5 lead. The Dodgers use two outs to score two runs after the first two batters reach. Then Bernie Neis beats out an slow roller for a single. Zach Wheat singles, and goes to third on an error by the rightfielder Joe Schultz (the ball went past him) that allows Neis to tie the game. Hi Myers singles for the walk-off win.

Myers also picks up the best offensive game of the day. He goes three for five with a triple and three RBI. His twenty triples ranks first among the NL leaders. He is also second in doubles.

Doc Ayers of the Tigers takes home the best pitched game of the day for the game one shutout. He holds Philadelphia to four this and three walks, striking out three. Ayers was in a big of a slump, with a 4.46 ERA in his previous six appearances. The Tigers win two as they win the second game 5-2.

Tris Speaker of the Indians loses ground to the idle George Sisler of the Browns in the AL batting race. Speaker goes one for four to drop his average to .391, now four points behind Sisler.

The Yankees defeat the Indians 6-1 in Cleveland to gain back the game lost the previous day. Babe Ruth hits home run 48, which fails to awe the Cleveland crowd. The White Sox down the Red Sox 5-3 winning on a double steal in the eighth inning. Cleveland and Chicago are now even in games back, but the Indians lead by percentage points. The Yankees are 1/2 games back, and the race for the AL flag is about as tight as it can be. The massive tie scenario would be in full effect.

In the NL, the Reds and Giants are idle, so Brooklyn extends their lead to one game over the Reds and three games over the Giants.
