On October 9, 1913 — In Game 3 of the World Series, rookie right-hander Joe Bush throws a complete game, limiting the Giants to five hits in the A’s 8-2 victory at the Polo Grounds. Eddie Collins had three hits and three RBI.
Jeff Tesreau allowed three straight one-out singles in the first, the last of which to Home Run Baker scoring a run. After a double steal and strikeout, and error on Amos Strunk’s ground ball scored two more runs. The A’s made it 5–0 next inning on Collins’s two-run single. The Giants got on the board in the fifth when Red Murray drew a leadoff walk, stole second, moved to third on an error and scored on Larry McLean’s single. The A’s added to their lead in the seventh when Collins’s triple and Home Run Baker’s single scored a run each. The Giants scored their last run of the game in the bottom of the inning when Tillie Shafer hit a leadoff double and scored on Red Murray’s single.. Wally Schang’s home run in the eighth off of Doc Crandall closed the scoring at 8–2 A’s.
At the age 20 years and 316 days, ‘Bullet Joe’ is the youngest pitcher to start a game in the Fall Classic, 40 days sooner than more efforts by Fernando Valenzuela (1981) and Jim Palmer (1966), tied for second on the list.
