On September 22, 1911 — Cy Young wins his 511th and final career game when he blanks the Piitsburgh Pirates at Forbes Field, 1-0. The 35-101 Boston Rustlers (soon to be renamed the Boston Braves) have won only three contests in 22 attempts against Pittsburgh this season, with two of the victories coming on shutouts thrown by the 44 year-old veteran right-hander, who was obtained by Boston on waivers from Cleveland in late July. Young will finish the season 4-5 making 11 appearances on the year.
Young sprinkled 9 hits and struck out 3, and shortstop Al Bridwell drove in the games only run. Babe Adams who took the loss dropped to 20-13 on the year, gave up only 6 hits to the Rustlers.
