New York Beaten, 6-4, by Brooklyn
The Brooklyn Dodgers picked up a win at Polo Grounds, knocking off the New York Giants, 6-4. On the mound for Brooklyn was left-hander Max Lanier. He played a key role in the triumph. Lanier yielded 4 runs over 9 innings to notch the win. He scattered 8 hits, walked 1, and struck out 3. His record improves to 2-1. New York now has a record of 6-4.

Brooklyn used the timely hitting of Bobby Adams to seize the win. The second baseman stroked a run-scoring single in the top of the eighth inning to put the Dodgers on top, 6-4. It was his only hit in 4 at-bats, but it was a game-changer.

"It's the best feeling when you come through for your teammates," said Adams.
