Washington Dismisses New York, 5-0
The Washington Senators beat the New York Giants, 5-0, at Polo Grounds 1890-1910. Starting pitcher Larry McKeon was a big reason why. He held his opponent in check all game. In 8.1 innings, McKeon surrendered 8 hits, while striking out 1 and walking 6. He allowed no runs. The loss makes New York 35-53.

Who knows how it might've ended, had it not been for Roger Bresnahan? The Washington first baseman had a run-scoring double in the top of the fourth inning to put the Senators on top, 2-0. For the game, Bresnahan had 1 double and 1 single in 4 at-bats.

"It wasn't a very good day at the ballpark," said New York manager Graham Haddon.
