Chicago White Sox P Ed Walsh hurls two complete game victories over Boston

ByBaseball

Chicago White Sox P Ed Walsh hurls two complete game victories over Boston, winning by scores of 10 – 5 and 3 – 1. When Doc White leaves the first game without retiring a batter in the 1st inning, Walsh comes in without warming up. He gives up five runs in the 1st, then blanks Boston the rest of the way.

The Giants top the Pirates, 9 – 5, with the help of eight walks and hit by pitch in six innings by usually steady Mike Lynch. Red Ames goes six innings to pick up the win, and Christy Mathewson tosses the last three innings of shutout ball.

At Philadelphia, A’s starter Andy Coakley pitches seven innings and is behind 4 – 2 against the Tigers when he departs. The A’s knot the score up with runs in the 7th and 8th, and reliever Jimmy Dygert tosses the last three innings. When the Tigers score two in the 10th to win, the official scorer pins the loss on Coakley for pitching badly (later revisions will give the loss to Dygert, and Coakley’s record of 20-7 will be the American League’s best winning percentage).

In Chicago, Christy Mathewson and Carl Lundgren hook up in a tight pitchers’ duel, decided in Chicago’s favor on a mental error by Giants 2B Bill Dahlen. With two on and two out in the 5th inning, Dahlen bobbles a grounder and touches second base as the runner arrives. Dahlen, thinking that he has the third out, rolls the ball to the mound. But ump Bob Emslie calls the runner safe. Johnny Evers, the runner on third base, alertly scores on the play for the game’s only run. The loss stops Matty’s win streak at 11 games.
