Babe Ruth Struggles On Mound, Hits Well In Red Sox Loss

by @ 6:24 pm. Filed under 1918 Red Sox Diary - May, 1918 Red Sox

May 4, 1918 at the Polo Grounds
Yankees 5, Red Sox 4  (12-5)

Babe Ruth did about all he could at the plate in this game but the Red Sox still walked away with the loss.  It was the first time this season the Red Sox had lost consecutive games.

Ruth finished the game with a double and a homer but it was pitching that cost him.  He gave up five runs on eight hits, including a run in the bottom of the ninth with two outs.  To his credit, Ruth was busy the entire game as the Yankees came after him with a series of bunts.

Harry Hooper had another solid game.  He went three for five with a double, a triple and a run.
