Brooklyn Robins vs. Pittsburgh Pirates
Forbes Field
Pirates Get to Leon Cadore Late; New York Giants At Last Reach .500?
With a late surge the Pittsburgh Pirates defeat Brooklyn a second time in two days at Forbes Field. With one out in the Brooklyn second, Ed Konetchy triples and Pete Kilduff doubles him home. Leading off the bottom of the third Pirates second baseman George Cutshaw doubles to center then scores, tying the game at one. Brooklyn regains the lead in the fourth on Zack Wheat's triple and a Hi Myers double. After which starter Leon Cadore yields two runs in the seventh, and two more in the eighth, including an inside the park home run from third baseman Bill McKechnie. Over all Leon Cardore allows five earned runs on ten hits and four walks through nine leading to his eighth loss of the season against seven wins. Pirates right-hander Hal Carlson limits Brooklyn to a pair of runs on seven hits and just one walk with three strikeouts through nine complete. Zack Wheat and Ed Konetchy account for four of the Robins seven hits. Brooklyn is nonetheless fortunate they do not lose ground, as the Reds fall to the New York Giants at Redland Field. Speaking of which, the Giants (42-42) reach the elusive .500 mark for the first time this season. Beware.
- RECORD: 52-37 (.584)
- First Place: 3.0 GA
