All six scheduled games play to a decision on August 22, 1920. The two extra inning games are also the lowest scoring games on that day. The Giants beat the Cubs in Chicago 4-1 in eleven innings, while the home team Cardinals defeat the Braves 3-2 in ten innings. The Tigers and Yankees combine for 20 runs at the Polo Grounds, with the Tigers coming out on top 11-9.

Joe Judge of the Senators once again wins best offensive game of the day, and once again it involves his triples. Judge goes three for three with two triples and two walks, doing his job as a lead-off man to set the table. He just beats out Ty Cobb, who goes five for six with a double against the Yankees. Cobb denies he campaigned against Carl Mays. Mays is now schedule to pitch the next game of the series.

Fred Toney of the Giants takes home best pitched game of the day honors. He goes the distance, allowing just four hits in eleven innings with two walks and six strikeouts. The run against him was unearned. Toney is now top five in the NL in both starts (28) and wins (16).

Once again, the AL batting race stays the same as Tris Speaker and the Indians can’t play in Boston and George Sisler and the Browns can’t play in Philadelphia due to Sunday Blue Laws. The Browns last played on August 18, and will play doubleheaders on the 23rd and 24th to make up for lost games.

In the AL pennant race, the White Sox beat the Senators 8-4. They lead the Indians by two games, but are even in the loss column. The Yankees fall 3 1/2 games back in third place.

The NL sees the Dodgers beat the Reds 6-3, and the two teams are once again in a virtual tie. Cincinnati, up two games in the loss column, leads in winning percentage. The Giants win puts them two games back.
