The Braves rally for 10 in the last of the 9th, but lose 21 – 12. The 17 runs are the NL post-1900 record scored by two teams in the 9th. Another 20th century mark set is the 11 stolen bases by the Giants – four by Josh Devore, including two in the 9th – and 14 swipes by both clubs. Thirteen Giants score runs, tying the major league record. The Giants’ Ernie Shoremakes his debut in this game and surrenders eight hits, a walk, and 10 runs (3 earned) in one inning, the 9th, of relief work, but is credited with a save for Hooks Wiltse.
