Cubs: 3 Tigers: 1 (Cubs lead 1-0)
W: Pfiester (1-0)
L: Mullin (0-1)
The Tigers blew Game 1, but played well enough to win. They pinned their hopes in Game 2 on 20 game winner Wabash George Mullin. The Cubs started 14 game winner and NL ERA champion Jack Pfiester. Detroit also replaced Game 1 goat Boss Schmidt with Fred Payne. Payne provided Detroit's only run with a RBI single in the second.
Payne's battery mate Mullin walked a lot of batters. In fact, he issued 100 free passes in five consecutive seasons. The walk came back to bite the pitcher in the second. Mullin walked Joe Tinker with the bases loaded to tie the game.
The game remained 1-1 until the fourth. Chicago scored two runs off Mullin to take a 3-1 lead. Pfeister made the runs hold up despite allowing 10 hits. Detroit only really threatened again in the eighth with two on and two out, but the Cub ERA champ escaped when Davy Jones was thrown out trying to steal third. Detroit wasted a 4-for-4 performance by Claude Rossman.
Both pitchers hurled complete games. Mullin went 8 innings, allowed 8 hits, 3 earned runs, walked 4, and struck out 6. Pfeister pitched 9, surrendered 10 hits, 1 earned run, walked one, and struck out 3. Johnny Evers and Jimmy Slagle had two hits each for the Cubs. Slagle, Tinker, and Jimmy Sheckard drove in the Cub runs. Davy Jones had two Tiger hits.
