Wilcy Moore continues to dominate on the mound for the 1927 New York Yankees.
Moore (4-0) tossed his fourth straight complete game victory as the Yankees beat the 1924 Washington Senators 7-0 in the finale of a four-game series at Griffith Stadium.
In 36 innings this season, Moore has allowed just one run as he’s posted three shutouts with an ERA of 0.25.
Against the Senators, Moore didn’t strikeout anyone as he gave up four hits with three walks.
Washington starter John Martina matched Moore though the first two innings, but the Yankees came to life in the third.
With the bases loaded, Mark Koenig got the scoring started with an infield single that made it 1-0. Martina walked Babe Ruth, which added the second tally. Lou Gehrig‘s sacrifice fly gave the Yankees a three-run advantage.
In the fourth, Martina walked Ruth again with the bases loaded and it was 4-0.
New York picked up its last three runs in the eighth against Allen Russell. Earl Combs was issued the third bases loaded walk of the affair before Koenig’s two-run single ended the scoring.
Martina worked seven innings for the Senators giving up eight hits to go with five walks and five strikeouts.
Joe Dugan led the Yankees with three hits as he raised his team-best batting average to .415.
The Yankees continue their travels with a trip to meet the 2005 Chicago White Sox.
George Pipgras is slated to start for New York in the opener of a three-game series at U.S. Cellular Field. Orlando Hernandez gets the ball from White Sox manger Ozzie Guillen.
