Athletics Show No Mercy in 9-0 Thrashing of Yankees
Johnny Vander Meer handcuffed the New York Yankees at Shibe Park today, coming away with a 3-hit, complete game shutout.

"I had everything working for me out there," the Philadelphia Athletics left-hander said later. "I used every one of my pitches, hit both sides of the plate really well and felt like I could do whatever I wanted."

With his stuff working, Vander Meer had little trouble with the Yankees and led the Athletics to victory, 9-0. He recorded 6 strikeouts and 6 walks in an impressive performance.
