1910 – Christy Mathewson stops the Bucs on five hits, as the Giants top Pittsburgh, 3 – 1, to move a half-game behind the 2nd-place Pirates. Lefty Leifield takes the loss.
Before an overflow crowd of 30,000 in New York, the Pirates’ Lefty Leifield tops the Giants and Christy Mathewson, 7 – 2. The loss drops New York to 3rd place. Two errors by Larry Doyle in the 7th open the gates for five Pirate runs. Pittsburgh is led by Honus Wagner who goes 5 for 5 to take over the batting lead from a hitless Mike Donlin. After each hit, Wagner holds up a finger to show the number of safeties to the RF Donlin.
New York sweeps the Pirates, beating Lefty Leifield, 7 – 0, on a three-hitter by Christy Mathewson, then taking the nitecap, 7 – 4. Pittsburgh racks up three homers – by Honus Wagner, Chief Wilson and Alan Storke – but to no avail. Joe McGinnity wins the nitecap with relief help from Hooks Wiltse.
