Jack Chesbro pitches a five-hit shutout and strikes out 11 Giants to beat Christy Mathewson, 4 – 0

On July 12, 1902 Overcoming poor Buc baserunning, Pirates star Jack Chesbro pitches a five-hit shutout and strikes out 11 Giants to beat Christy Mathewson, 4 – 0. The Buccos lose five straight runners via baserunning errors. With two outs in the 3rd, Ginger Beaumont is on second base, with first base empty, and he is put out trying to advance to third on a grounder. In the 4th, Hans Wagner leads off with a triple, but is out at the plate on Kitty Bransfield’s grounder to first. Bransfield is then thrown out trying to steal second. Claude Ritchey draws a walk, but is picked offfirst. Jimmy Burke leads off the 5th with a double, but tries to stretch it into a triple, and is tagged out by Matty, covering the bag.
