1905 World Series Game 3

New York: 9 Philadelphia: 0 (Giants lead 2-1)

WP: Mathewson (2-0)

LP: Coakley (0-1)
Game 3 of the 1905 World Series was basically over with the contest's first pitch. The A's started Andy Coakley, who was the first starting pitcher to appear in that series that did not make the Hall of Fame. Coakley hit Giants lead off man Roger Bresnahan with the first pitch and the rout was on. New York scored two in the first, but that was all Christy Mathewson needed. The Giant started hurled a complete game 4-hit shutout and New York added five in the fifth and two in the ninth for the 9-0 blowout victory. Coakley also went 9 innings and surrendered only 3 earned runs. Dan McGann had three hits and four RBI in the win. It would be 40 years before the World Series had another 9-0 game. In 1945, the Cubs downed Detroit 9-0, but would lose that series.
