Wheat enjoyed a fine day at the plate. He smashed a solo-shot out of the park in the 2nd inning, doubled bringing in a run in the 3rd inning, laced a base-knock in the 5th inning, delivered a base-hit in the 6th inning and slapped a one-base hit scoring a run in the 8th inning. Philadelphia had 19 hits for the game and New York had 10. The win was credited to Joe Benz(1-0) who went 7 innings allowing 5 runs. Guy Morton gained credit for his 1st save. Pete Alexander(0-1) ended up with the loss. He was not very effective, surrendering 12 runs in 7 and 2/3 innings.
