At Nicollet Park in Minneapolis, Irv Young puts on “the greatest single-day mound performance in the history of the Millers”. In the first game of a doubleheader with the Milwaukee Brewers, Young holds them to four hits to win, 1 – 0. Young homers in the 5th for the game’s only run. So impressive is Young that he pitches the nitecap, holding the Brewers hitless until the 9th and finishing with a one-hit, 5 – 0 victory. The double shutout puts the Millers two games in front of Milwaukee.
