Giants Turn Back Pirates, 4-3
New York Giants starter Bert Abbey pitched effectively against the Pittsburgh Pirates at Polo Grounds 1890-1910. The right-hander spearheaded his team's 4-3 win. Abbey got the win, improving to 8-12. He gave up 6 hits and walked 1 over 9 innings. He allowed 3 runs. Their 34-50 record puts the Giants last in the Eastern League.

New York took a 4-3 lead on Luke Shy's 3rd double of the season. The run-scoring double, which Shy hit in the bottom of the seventh, left Pittsburgh pitcher Matt Gilley visibly frustrated.

"I just trusted my stuff," said Abbey.
