All eight scheduled major league games played to completion on June 25, 1920, but only fourteen teams saw action. Three games tied for the low scoring game of the day with six runs. Both ends of the double header in Boston between the Dodgers and the Braves come in at that total, Brooklyn winning the early game 5-1, the Braves taking the night cap 4-2. In addition, the home team Senators beat the Athletics 4-2, the sixteenth loss in a row for Philadelphia. They are a bit worse than that losing twenty of their last 21 games, all decisions going to their starting pitchers.
At the high end, the Browns beat the Tigers 10-6. The game became close late when the Tigers overcame a six-run deficit with five runs in the seventh inning and another in the eighth to tie the game. The Browns scored four times in the bottom of the eighth, however, to ensure the win. The game featured six doubles and two triples, but no home runs.
Babe Ruth of the Yankees hit two more home runs in a 6-3 loss to the Red Sox at the Polo Grounds for best offensive game of the day honors. He reached base three times in four trips, adding a walk to his home runs. His 1919 record of 29 home runs in a season appears likely to fall very quickly. Ruth now owns as many home runs as the next three highest AL home run hitters combined.
Phil Douglas of the Giants takes home best pitched game of the day honors for his second start in a row. Douglas allows five hits in the complete game win, giving up one walk while striking out four. He made five appearances in the last sixteen days, posting a 0.60 ERA in 30 innings. The Giants beat the Phillies 9-1.
In the AL, Cleveland and New York both fall as the Indians maintain their 1 1/2 game lead for the league title. The White Sox move to five games back with a win. The falling Philadelphia franchise is now 24 games back in last place.
In the NL, an idle Cincinnati maintains a 1 1/2 game lead as Brooklyn splits the double header. St. Louis takes sole possession of third place as the Cubs lose, and a Pirates win moves them 4 1/2 games out as they hold fifth place.
