Mussina Bests Ryan as Jacks Top Swats 1-0.

Oakland Jacks starter Mike Mussina faced his 2nd straight New York Swats train and once again came out on top. In his last start, it was Walter Johnson. This time, he topped Nolan Ryan in an even more impressive performance. Mussina hurled his 1st shutout of the season, a complete game, allowing 7 hits while striking out 7. New York threatened in the 8th when Wade Boggs hit a one-out single, and Ty Cobb followed with a double. Moose struck out Babe Ruth and got Jimmie Foxx to ground out to end the inning. Swats starter Ryan was nearly as good, allowing a solo homer to Minnie MiƱoso in the 3rd. Oakland was poised to score in the 2nd when they loaded the bases with no outs, but Hank Greenberg struck out, and Nellie Fox grounded into a double-play. Both starters went the distance, and both allowed 7 hits and struck out 7. Oakland improved to 10-11 with the 1-0 win, while New York fell to 9-13.
