Giants Take Down Cardinals, 11-6
In baseball, each game is unique. This one was no different.

The New York Giants topped the St. Louis Cardinals, 11-6, in National League action at Polo Grounds 1890-1910. The game was highlighted by the performance of New York left fielder Lefty Johnson. The winning pitcher was Bill George. He tossed 140 pitches over 9 innings, allowing 6 runs on 8 hits.

Johnson's nice game included a clutch run-scoring single in the bottom of the seventh.

"Scoring runs is scoring runs," said New York skipper Chris Petty. "It's important to have different ways to do it."

New York now sits at 30-77, while St. Louis falls to 58-49.
