Game #127: Friday, September 3, 1920 - BR
Philadelphia Phillies vs. Brooklyn Robins
Ebbets Field
Burliegh Grimes Hurls Gem Over Philadelphia Phillies
A couple of days rest does the body good. Just ask Burleigh Grimes. The spitballer and Ebbets Field crowd reconvene over a four hit whitewashing of the Phillies. He faces just 32 batters, walking one and fanning four en route to his 19th victory against nine losses with a 2.06 ERA. Ivy Olson continues his hot hitting going 3 for 5 with a run batted in. Zack Wheat lifts his average to .319 with a single, double and triple, with two runs scored and two runs batted in. Hi Myers plates two runs giving him a team leading 62 runs batted in. The Robins generate sixteen hits overall, with Burleigh Grimes (.323) accounting for two. Philadelphia moves out and the Boston Braves move in for a short weekend series at Ebbets Field. The Reds trounce the Cardinals and the Giants defeat the incoming Braves at the Polo Grounds. Brooklyn spends another day one-half game out of first.
- RECORD: 71-55 (.563)
- 2nd Place; 0.5 GB
