FAST STARTS BY THE SENATORS AND ORPHANS - PENNANT HOLDERS PHILADELPHIA AND ST LOUIS STRUGGLE EARLY.

Notable Performances

23rd: Giants 1B Dalton Jones records the first 5 hit performance of the season in a 7-4 win over the Beaneaters. Jones, who hit .356 with 82 RBI in his rookie year has begun 1902 with a bang, with his slash of .577 / .593 / .731 a good sign for the year to come.
25th: After two late-inning losses to start the season, the new St Louis Browns franchise finally win their first game. They do their darnedest not to, however, conceding 4 in the top 9th to fall behind 9-6. But then they rally with 4 of their own to snatch it 10-9.
29th: 39 year old Americans reliever Tom Glavine announces he will retire at the end of the season.
30th: White Sox first baseman Steve Cox becomes the first player in FL history to hit 2 home runs in one game, helping his side get past the Bronchos 8-4.

Feats and Streaks

24th: Tigers third baseman Lee Tannehill stretches his consecutive hit streak that carries over from last season to an impressive 30 games. He would add another two to his tally before being stopped by the Browns.

Injuries

25th: A poor start to the season for the Reds when they lose starting pitcher Luis Castillo to an oblique strain for a month.
28th: Shoulder inflammation means Americans SP Allen Watson will have to sit out 6 weeks.
30th: Yet another rotation loses a key member when A’s high-profile offseason signing Fred Glade goes down with a high ankle sprain. He is expected to be out for at least 2 months.

Life in a Minor Key (news from the lower levels)

10th: Talk about mixed messages! Harrisburg’s Andy Coakley fans a PSL record 18 in a 9-3 win over Reading, only to succumb to a season-ending ruptured ulnar collateral ligament in the 9th. Houston’s Bob Harmon would equal this strikeout mark just a week later.
18th: Hazleton CF Gary Matthews jr has a monster of a day in a 16-5 demolition of the Bees, going 6-for-6 with 5 ribbies, while Reading’s Danny Murtaugh has a 5 hit game in a 10-8 win over Wichita Falls.
19th: Reading’s pitching continues to dominate with King Cole blanking the Buffaloes 7-0, fanning 17 in the process.
