TEAM RISP- Braves: 5 for 15 Giants: 0 for 0
Sam Leever didn't allow a hit until the 8th inning as the Boston-NL Braves
bested the reeling New York-NL Giants 5 to 0 at Polo Grounds.
Leever(3-0) was indeed brilliant as he hand-cuffed the New York-NL offense.
He surrendered only 1 hit and 2 walks in 9 innings dropping his ERA from 3.50
to 2.33. The right-handed Leever lost his no-hit bid when Miller Huggins
singled with two outs in the 8th inning. Boston-NL had 9 hits for the
afternoon.
Orval Overall(0-4) absorbed the loss. Brian Capsello was obviously impressed
with the pitching of Leever, 'That guy made us look a little silly out there
this afternoon. We just couldn't get to him at all - everything was working
for him. I just hope that he got that kinda performance out of his system.'
