On July 9, 1904 The Giants’ Iron Joe McGinnity wins two today, both in relief. In the opener Joe takes over for Christy Mathewson in the 8th with the Giants ahead, 2 – 1. The Cards tie it in the 8th, but New York scores three in the 9th to win, 5 – 3. It’s déjà vu in the nitecap, as McGinnity relieves Hooks Wiltse and the Giants score two in the 9th to win, 5 – 2. McGinnity’s record is now 22-2.
