1911 – In the nightcap of a game billed as a pitchers’ duel, Boston’s Cy Young and the Giants’ Christy Mathewson face each other before 10,000, Boston’s largest crowd of the year. Young gives up three homers and nine runs in less than three innings. After the Giants build a 9 – 0 lead, John McGraw lifts Mathewson, who pitched just two innings, preferring to save his ace for the pennant race against Chicago and Philadelphia. This is the only time the two pitchers ever face each other. Mathewson adds to New York’s scoring in the 3rd by swiping home. The Giants coast, 11 – 2.

New York wins the first game, 9 – 3, and now lead the Cubs by two games.
