Carl Hubbell Pitches First No-Hit Game for Giants
The Associated Press reports Carl Hubbell no-hit the Pirates at the Polo Grounds, a 1-0 victory marking the first major league no-hitter since 1926. The game featured defensive miscues by Pirates and a strong Giants defense, with Lloyd Waner and Pie Traynor making routine plays and Hubbell surviving late stress to seal the win. The day also saw Mel Ott homers and Yaite Hoyt winning his fourth straight for New York, while other AL games included the Yankees’ sixth straight win and Cleveland-besting Boston.
