| Noonan Shackles Des Moines Friday, May 4th , 1917 Denver Millionaires starter Moe Noonan really did a number on the Des Moines Browns, shutting them out, 4-0, on 4 hits in a complete game victory. He issued 1 walk and had 7 strikeouts.
"We didn't have good at-bats," said Des Moines manager Walt McDermott. "I don't make excuses, but when we were playing the game, our energy didn't show. That comes from either extremely good pitching or extremely lousy hitting and seeing as our team has a bunch of good hitters, I have to tip my cap to Noonan."
Noonan has a 5-1 season record so far. In 7 starts, he has fanned 35 batters in 59 innings with a 2.59 ERA. | | |
