Wednesday, June 17, 1914 (First Game of Double Header) Baltimore vs. Rochester – Game 25

Baltimore 0 Rochester 6 – Babe Ruth Starting Pitcher – Relieved in 2^nd Inning – Losing Pitcher

                After a scoreless first inning, Babe was rocked in the second inning giving up 5 runs to the Hustlers on the way to a 6-0 Orioles loss.  He was relieved after 1 1/3 innings after giving up 7 hits with one strike out and one walk.  The loss gave him a 9-6 record for the year.  This was the third straight loss for the Orioles at the hands of Rochester coming after the Orioles 13 straight victories.  Their season record fell to 36-18. 

                For unknown reasons, Babe is called Frank Ruth in the Baltimore Sun article.  

                After this poor start, Ruth did not make an appearance in another game until June 23rd.  He did not play in five games between these two starts.
