Recap: In Game Four Lefty Grove got revenge on Carl Hubbell for the first game loss. He was sharp as a razor and cut down the Giants on a 5-hit victory with two walks and four strikeouts. Hubbell, on the other hand, was not up to par. The Athletics belted him for 11 hits and routed him in the seventh. In the fourth inning Al Simmons' (.375/0/3) single, an error by Al Dark on a Frank Baker grounder and RBI-singles by Shigeo Nagashima (.600/0/2) and Danny Murphy (.267/1/2) put the A's in front 2-0. New York narrowed it to 2-1 in the fifth, when Dark (.286/0/1) atoned for the error with a single and scored on a Martin Dihigo (.625/2/4) two-base hit. Philadelphia then wrapped up the game with a 4-run seventh. Nagashima and Murphy singled to put runners on first and second. Mickey Cochrane (.417/0/1) made it 3-1 with a single. Alejandro Oms (.313/0/2) singled for another run and Simmons delivered a 2-run single for the last two scores. Grove got stronger as the game progressed, only giving up one hit over the last four frames. Friday is an off day. The Series will return to the Polo Grounds for Games Five and Six. It will be the second game starters opposing each other again. Ed Plank (15-9 3.81) for the Athletics and Christy Mathewson (19-4 3.72) for New York. Both had good outings in the first matchup between them, but didn't figure in the decision. The Giants won 4-3 in 10 innings on Barry Bonds solo home run.
