Cy Young wins his 500th Game

On July 19, 1910, Cy Young wins his 500th game when the Naps (Indians) beat the Senators in 11 innings at American League Park, 5-2. The Nap’s down 1-0 in the 9th score 2 runs, but Young could not hold the lead as the Senators tied it at 2-2 in the bottom half of the 9th. The Naps breakthrough for 3 in the 11th and this time Young, still in their closeout the 5-1 victory.
