At the Polo Grounds, the Pirates broadside Christy Mathewson for eight hits and eight runs in just three innings. Honus Wagner goes 4 for 5 on the afternoon with two hits off Matty: one a single and the other a three-run homer. The only time the Giants get Hans out is when a pitch hits his bat as he tries to get out of way and the ball rolls fair. The Giants make a game of it, but lose, 8 – 6.
