New York Giants vs. Brooklyn Robins
Ebbets Field
Robins Take Rubber Game at Ebbets Field; Starter Clarence Mitchell Whitewashes Giants
Giants 0
Robins 3
Cheered on by 9,000 strong at Ebbets Field the Robins continue their hot start with a 3-0 whitewashing of their rival Giants. Fielding errors, this time committed by shortstop Art Fletcher and second baseman Larry Doyle, for a second straight game are New York's undoing. Brooklyn tallies three unearned runs in the first and Robins southpaw Clarence Mitchell takes care of the rest. Jimmy Johnston, Zack Wheat, and Hi Myers all cross the plate for Brooklyn. Only Ed Konetchy is credited with a run batted in. New York starter Fred Toney takes the loss upon yielding three unearned runs on six hits and two walks with one strikeout through six innings pitched. Robins starter Clarence Mitchell on the other hand tosses a gem limiting the Giants to just five scattered hits and four walks with one strikeout through nine scoreless innings pitched. The suddenly stingy Mitchell has now allowed but one earned run through his first two starts and 18 innings pitched. Brooklyn improves to 8-3 and is tied for first place with the Cincinnati Reds.
- RECORD: 8-3 (.727)
- 1st place; tied
