As the saying goes, you only get one chance to make a first impression. Well, for rookie pitcher Doc Scanlan it was a rough first impression for the hometown fans as the Boston Americans (1-1) thumped the Washington Senators (1-1) by a score of 14 to 2.

As the 10th overall pick in the 1902 draft, Scanlon (0-1) was seen as a top of the rotation level pitcher whose stuff was projected to baffle hitters. His first outing though ended after 3 2/3 innings in which he allowed 9 runs (8 earned) on 10 hits, 2 walks, and 1 wild pitch to finish with a Game Score of 4. Alex Pearson was brought in for 4 1/3 innings in which he allowed 5 runs (4 earned) on 3 hits and 3 walks. In a surprising call to the pen, Rube Waddell was brought in for the final inning of relief after pitching a complete game the day prior. On the other side of the ledger is veteran pitcher Cy Young who continues to fend off father time, this outing being no exception as Young (1-0) allowed 2 runs (1 earned) on 7 hits and 1 walk for a Game Score of 68.

The Americans had a busy day at the plate and on the base paths. Leading the way for the team was Chick Stahl (1 for 3, Double, 3 Runs, 2 RBIs, 2 Walks), Fred Clarke (2 for 3, 3 Runs, 1 RBI, 2 Walks), Bill Lange (2 for 6, 3 Runs, 2 Stolen Bases), and Jiggs Donahue (2 for 6, 2 Runs, 2 Stolen Bases). Willie Keeler (2 for 4, Triple, 1 RBI) and Danny Green (1 for 3, 1 RBI, 1 Walk) played well in the loss.

Player of the Game: Cy Young (Season: #1 / Career: #33)
