Cincinnati Reds vs. Brooklyn Robins
Ebbets Field
Zack Wheat Breaks Out of Slump; Robins Snap Four Game Skip
Brooklyn rallies late to take game three of their four match set with Cincinnati. Facing a 4-6 deficit through the sixth, the Robins score once in the seventh and four times in the eighth en route to a 9-7 come from behind victory at Ebbets. Zack Wheat breaks out of a 1 for 19 slump with a three run home run in the third. Ed Konetchy climbs back above .300 going 2 for 4 with a triple and run scored. Ivy Olson drives in a pair, and Pete Kilduff and Tommy Griffith each drive in a run apiece. Even Burleigh Grimes pitching in relief of Leon Cadore chips in with a hit and two runs batted in. Making his eleventh start of the season Cadore allows six runs, only four are earned, on eleven hits and a walk through seven innings pitched, but does not factor in the decision. Burleigh Grimes improves to 8-3 on the season upon yielding one run on three hits and two walks with three strikeouts through two innings in relief of Cadore. A former Robin and favorite of Wilbert Robinson Jake Daubert singles and drives in a run, and Edd Roush goes 3 for 5 with a double and his 27th run batted in of the season. With the victory Brooklyn regains first place by one half-game over the defending champion Reds.
- RECORD: 28-20 (.583)
- 1st place; 0.5 GA
