Philadelphia: 3 New York: 0 (Series tied 1-1)
WP: Bender (1-0)
LP: McGinnity (0-1)
The Giants drew first blood, so the A's turned to 18 game winner and future Hall of Famer Chief Bender to stem the tide. New York started another Hall of Famer, Joe McGinnity, who won 21 games in 1905. Neither team scored in the first two innings. When the dust settled, no earned runs crossed the plate.
Philadelphia scored their first run in the third inning. Giant first baseman committed an error allowing Ossee Schrecongost to reach. Bender sacrified the runner to second and he advanced to third on a ground out. Bris Lord singled in Schrecongost to plate the game's first run.
McGinnity and Bender cruised into the eighth. In the top half, Schrecongost singled with one out and scored on a two-out double by Topsy Hartsel. The run was unearned as Hall of Fame catcher Roger Bresnahan committed an error to allow the runner to score. Hartsel then scored on Lord's second two-out RBI hit of the game. Harry Davis grounded to short to end the inning. A's led 3-0.
The Giants threatened in the eighth with a single and a runner reaching on an error. However, Bender compelled George Browne to ground out to end the threat. The Giants pinch hit for McGinnity in the eighth. Red Ames pitched the bottom half of the frame and escaped a one-out and two runners on jam.
New York rallied again in the ninth, but failed to score. Mike Donlin and McGann reached base with no one out. Bender clamped down and retired the next three batters in order to finish the shutout. In the end, Bender threw a 4-hit shutout, walked 3,and struck out 9. McGinnity allowed 8 hits in 8 innings, walked none, struck out 2, and allowed no earned runs. It was the second consecutive shutout in the 1905 Series and the A's evened the Fall Classic at 1 game each. It was the first time a team lost a World Series game without giving up an earned run.
