Battling for second place, the Pirates defeat the Giants, 2 – 0, pinning the loss on Christy Mathewson. The Giants announce that Tommy Corcoran, the 38-year-old veteran whom the Giants picked up before the season started, has been handed his release.
In a good trade for Boston, they acquire lefty Patsy Flaherty, 2B Claude Ritchey, and OF Ginger Beaumont from the Pirates for good-fielding 2B Ed Abbaticchio. Abbaticchio will lead the National League in fielding in 1908, but Ritchey will lead in 1907, and the other pair will be mainstays.
With runners on first base and third base and no outs in the 9th, Boston’s Ed Abbaticchio lines into a game-ending triple play against the Cincinnati Reds’ Bob Ewing.
