The Pittsburgh Pirates got a good effort from starter Harry Staley in defeating the New York Giants at Polo Grounds 1890-1910. The final score was 3-2. Staley, now 14-23, was the winner. In 9 innings, he gave up 7 hits, while striking out 3, walking 3, and allowing 2 runs. The 7th-place Pirates have a record of 44-69.

Pittsburgh used the timely hitting of Jesse Hoffmeister to seize the win. The third baseman stroked a run-scoring single in the top of the ninth inning to put the Pirates on top, 3-2. It was his only hit in 4 at-bats, but it was a game-changer.

Staley said his team "played with determination."
