Over 6 innings, he yielded 4 runs on 4 hits, with 4 walks and 3 strikeouts. Boston is now 40-67. New York is 51-60.
In the bottom of the 5th, Boston took the lead on a 2-run single by Frank Borgen. At the time, the Minutemen were trailing 4-3, but Borgen's hit with two outs against New York pitcher Ray Hooley put them in front, 5-4.
Borgen told the Boston Bulletin: "I was born for the big stage."
