Tigers Fall to Nationals in Pitchers’ duel at Washington
A pitchers’ duel with Walter Johnson and Donovan stifling most rallies as Detroit could only push a lone run across. Cobb hit a three-base drive scoring Crawford, but the Tigers failed to capitalize afterward, leaving Washington with a 1-0 victory amid tense late-inning defense and missed scoring chances.
Donovan In Fine Form As Tigers Face Nationals
The six day lay off due to his pension exempt status left Bil Donovan in peak shape for yesterday. He displayed rare speed and easy power, aiding a strong performance on the local grounds. The Tigers opted for a hit and run during the prior sacrifice game, but the approach faltered. Johnson, Mullin, and Ganley are highlighted for their pitching and fielding work. The era’s strategic plays, clutch throws, and base running are discussed as Cobb and Rossman make key moments. The article notes Rosqnan, Schmidt, Streets, and Cantillon engaging in sharp exchanges, as well as Unglaub’s defense and Schaefer’s struggles. The Nationals face a decisive day with Charley South expected to pitch for the Nationals, and the Tigers’ season-ending appearance looms as they pursue a share of the pennant.
