The Philadelphia Phillies have announced that they've waived pitcher Jack Dunn. Dunn, despite earning a victory in his last start, had been mostly ineffective in his first two starting assignments this season. In addition to his unsightly 9.90 ERA, he had allowed 19 hits and 9 walks in only 10 innings of work. It is not known at this time whether Dunn's roster spot will be reassigned.

Player-manager Griffith got the job done himself, at least from the pitching end. Jones had another big day at the plate, and Isbell blasted a 3-run HR in the first leading the ChiSox to a win and evening their record at 2-2.

Pitching Matchups for 4-28-01

In the only NL matchup of this day, Bill Phillips opposes Bert Cunningham as the Reds and Orphans play this afternoon. Phillips is coming off an awful performance his first time out this season. He took the loss against these same Orphans when he allowed 7 earned runs on 10 hits in only 7 innings of work. The 35-year old Cunningham begins his 2nd season with the Orphans. He sported a 4-3 record with an ERA of 4.36 in 8 apperances last season for Chicago.

Now the AL:


Milwaukee looks to avoid dropping their 4th straight to the Tigers of Detroit. The Brewers send Pete Dowling to the hill. Dowling brings a career 27-39 record with him from three seasons with Louisville in the National League. He did not pitch during the 1900 season. Current speculation has it that Pete preferred beverages that didn't help his pitching much. Detroit throws Ed Siever in response. Siever, a 26-year old from Goddard, KS will be making his professional debut.



Cleveland looks for it's first win of the season in Chicago vs the White Sox. The Blues send 22-year old rookie Charles "Bock" Baker to the mound. The White Sox will counter with player-manager Clark Griffith (pictured). Griffith has pitched the last eight seasons with the Chicago North side club. Last season he was 14-13, with a 3.05 ERA.

Doc White allowed Bill Shettsline to rest his bullpen, tossing a complete game
and Harry Wolverton had 4 hits and 5 RBI as the Philadelphia Phillies
defeated the New York Giants by the score of 11 to 5 at Baker
Bowl.

single bringing in a run in the 1st inning, ripped a base-knock knocking in a
run in the 5th inning, doubled plating three runs in the 6th inning and
doubled in the 8th inning. New York had a chance to come back in the 9th but
they came up short.

The winning pitcher was White(1-0) who allowed 5 runs for the game. Luther
Taylor(0-2) was the losing pitcher. He allowed 15 hits and 2 walks in 5 and
1/3 innings.

When questioned about the loss, George Davis said, 'The fans got to see an
exciting game out there this afternoon. Unfortunately, we couldn't get it
done this time. Next time, though, we'll be the clubhouse with all the
smiles.'

Orphans defense betrays them (and Taylor) early and they never full recover.

Park as the Cincinnati Reds beat the Chicago Orphans by the count of 4 to
2.

Cincinnati jumped out to the early lead in the first inning scoring 3 runners
on 4 hits. That scoring would be all that was needed. After the 4th inning,
neither team was able to score.

Hahn(1-1) picked up the complete game victory, allowing 2 runs. Jack
Taylor(2-1) took the loss. He pitched 9 innings giving up 9 hits and 1 walk.

After the first inning, Hughes was practically untouchable. Nichols didn't pitch poorly at all, but the Beaneater offense disappeared after the early run. Superbas run their record to 5-0

Jim Hughes delivered 9 solid innings as the Brooklyn Superbas beat the Boston
Beaneaters by a score of 3 to 1.

Brooklyn scored 2 runs in the bottom of the 2nd inning. That early scoring
held up. The pitchers took over after the 3rd inning as neither team was
able to score again.

The victory was credited to Hughes(1-0) who went the distance, allowing 1 run.
Kid Nichols(1-1) was charged with the loss. He allowed 3 runs and 7 hits in
8 innings.

'Hughes just dominated us' losing pitcher Nichols said. 'Hopefully we can get
to him the next time around'

AL pitching matchups for 4-27-01

Win Mercer hopes to help the Washington club run their record to an early 2-0 against Wiley Piatt and the Athletics in today's game. Mercer will be beginning his 8th professional season at the ripe old age of 26. His 107-133 record to this point could definitely use some polishing. Piatt will get the start for Philadelphia. Wiley comes off three seasons pitching for the NL Philadelphia ballclub. He compiled a 56-39 record and if history is any indicator, he'll be a fine addition to the AL club's staff.

Milwaukee will attempt to shake off their most recent collapse at the hands of the Tigers. Bert Husting will get the starting nod, making his first professional start. He pitched twice in relief for Pittsburg last season, allowing 5 runs in 8 innings of work with no decisions. Despite questionable success to this point in his career, Joe Yeager will continue to pitch, this time for Detroit. Joe carries a 15-25 career record into this affair.


Cleveland hopes to build on their 2-0 start by sending Bill Hart to pitch for them against John Katoll and the White Sox. The 35-year old Hart is making a return to professional ball after being out the past two seasons. Hopefully he'll be more successful this time out as his career record coming into this season is 59-109. Katoll also didn't pitch in the 1900 season, having made four appearances for the Chicago NL team in 1898-99. Like Hart, he carries a less than desirable stat line into the season (1-2, 4.03).



Boston sends their venerable righthander, Cy Young to the mound today against Harry Howell and the Baltimore Orioles. Young just finished a two year stint with the Cardinals, going 19-19 with a 3.00 ERA in 1900. The 24-year old Howell is coming off a 6-5, 3.75 ERA with the Brooklyn club in 1900.




NL pitching matchups for 4-27-01

Jack Powell opposes Jesse Tannehill in a game between the 2-3 Cardinals and the 2-1 Pirates. Powell will make his 2nd start of the season, and hopes for a win after allowing only 2 earned runs and taking a loss his last time out. The 26-year old Tannehill is making his first start of the season. He's won 20+ in each of his last three seasons in Pittsburgh, and his next win will be the 80th of his young career.
Luther Taylor opposes Doc White as the Giants take on the Phillies. Both pitchers are hoping to put on better performances in their 2nd starts of the season. Although Taylor pitched pretty well, he was hung with the loss in a 3-2 decision versus Boston on 4-19. White in the meantime, didn't get a decision, but pitched very poorly, allowing 9 runs on 11 hits in only 3 innings of work versus Brooklyn on April 22nd.


Cincinnati takes their 1-2 record into Chicago to take on the 3-2 Orphans. Noodles Hahn makes his 2nd start of the season for the Reds. Hahn was roughed up pretty harshly by the Pirates back on April 20th. He allowed 9 runs (8 earned) on 13 hits in a 9-6 loss to Pittsburg. Mal Eason will be making his 2nd career start for Chicago. Eason pitched one game for Chicago in 1900, a win in which he allowed only 2 runs in 9 innings.



Boston (1-2) plays in Brooklyn against the undefeated Superbas (4-0). Kid Nichols, winner of the only Beaneater game thus far (4-19 vs NY) looks to improve his record to 2-0. Jim Hughes will be making his first start of the season for Brooklyn. Hughes will have a hard time exceeding or even duplicating his stellar 1900 campaign. Hughes was 28-6 with a 2.68 ERA.
