1920 National League Champions
Game #45: Thursday, June 10, 1920 - BR
St. Louis Cardinals vs. Brooklyn Robins
Ebbets Field
Burleigh Grimes Ineffective; Cardinals Take Two Games to One Series Lead
The Cardinals maintain a 1-0 lead through the sixth, then erupt for four runs in the seventh and four more in the eighth. Brooklyn scores three times in the ninth but it's too little too late. St. Louis starter and former New York Giant Ferdie Schupp allows just one earned run over nine innings on ten hits and two walks with four strikeouts for his fourth victory of the season. Burleigh Grimes sustains his third loss of the season, yielding nine earned runs on ten hits and four walks with five strikeouts through 7.1 innings pitched. Cardinals catcher Verne Clemons goes 2 for 4 with four runs batted in. Second baseman Rogers Hornsby lifts his average to .384 also going 2 for 4 with a triple and two runs scored. Zack Wheat clearly rusty is held hitless in five at-bats. Jimmy Johnston Brooklyn's lone bright spot goes 3 for 5 with a run batted in. The Robins lose a full game in the standings as second place Cincinnati emerges victorious in extra innings at the Polo Grounds.
- RECORD: 27-17 (.613)
- 1st place; 1.5 GA
