New York (11-10) / Atlanta (14-7)

WP- Maddux (2-3)
LP- Hoyt (2-3)/ CG (1)

The definition of a pitcher's duel, as Greg Maddux (ATL) & Waite Hoyt (NYY) shined for their teams. Maddux would break up Hoyt's bid for a no-hitter with a single in the bottom of the sixth, in which Maddux would late score on the error by Tony Lazzeri (which would be the difference).

Maddux would go on to pitch 8 innings of two-hit, scoreless ball; while Hoyt pitches 8 innings of three-hit ball, allowing no earned runs. Maddux had 5 K's, Hoyt had 6 K's.

It has been an up-and-down season for both the 1927 Yankees & the Braves' Greg Maddux -- who both while on top of their games, are the most dangerous to face in the entire history of the game.
