He went the distance in a Browns victory for his 15th win of the season he would finish at Newsom was acquired by the Red Sox midway through the season. On September 27, he pitched a complete game in the opener of a Fenway Park doubleheader against the Athletics, with the Bosox winning Bobo was back with the Browns, on his way to his first win season, in when he tried for another double victory.

On August 7, pitching at home, he got a complete game win over—yet again—Philadelphia in the opener, then started again in the second game. But he weakened and was pulled in the fourth, taking the loss. On August 21 he started both games against the Tigers in Detroit after boasting beforehand that he would go all the way and win both games. But he won neither. Ken Heintzelman was the starting pitcher in both games for the Pirates in their doubleheader sweep of the Giants at Forbes Field on August 3, , but he got the win in neither game.

The fact that Heintzelman was brought back to start the second game did not merit any special attention in the New York Times game story. This Bill Lee never started both games of a doubleheader. He was knocked out in the third inning of the opener, a game the Cubs rallied to win in 14 against the Cardinals at Wrigley Field. He started again in the second game and pitched into the seventh, getting the win. He started both games and got only one out in each, giving up a total of 10 hits.

The Browns rallied to win game one. Hogsett had spent six seasons with the Tigers before they traded him to the Browns in April Jack Russell started both games of a doubleheader for the Red Sox at Fenway Park on September 10, , and lost them both. In the opener he got the hook after the Browns scored four runs in the top of the first. The second game went much better, as Russell went the distance and allowed just six hits, but the Browns won Russell was the last pitcher to start and lose both games of a doubleheader until Wood did it in He took the loss in that game, then started the second and pitched into the seventh inning but took the loss in that one as well.

Jack Scott was the last pitcher to throw a complete game in both ends of a doubleheader. It happened in Cincinnati on June 19, , with Scott pitching for the visiting Phillies. He pitched a six-hitter in the first game , with the Phils winning , then lost the second game , The Indians won the opener , , in a game that lasted just one hour and 29 minutes, then took the second game in an hour and 40 minutes.

Levsen allowed just four hits in each game and walked a total of three. After the opener, Levsen was kidded by teammates about how easily he beat the Red Sox.

Thus motivated, Levsen went to manager Tris Speaker and asked if he could also start the second game. The author wrote:. Levsen was a rookie in , having had just brief cups of coffee with the Indians in each of the previous three seasons. He went , including the doubleheader wins, but would earn just three more wins in his major league career and would be done after July Urban Shocker posted two complete-game wins for the Browns in a doubleheader at Chicago on September 6, The score of each game was , with Shocker allowing nine hits in the first game and only five in the nightcap.

Louis against the Braves. He threw a two-hitter in the first game , which lasted just one hour and 31 minutes, then came back to take the second game with a four-hitter than took just an hour and 14 minutes. Phillies manager Kaiser Wilhelm who had taken over from Bill Donovan less than three weeks earlier sent George Smith to the mound in both games, while boston skipper Fred Mitchell called on Jack Scott, the same fellow who threw the two complete games in a twin-bill.

Scott had also started both games of a double dip in The next day, Mitchell started Mule Watson in both games of another doubleheader against Philly, and Watson went the distance in winning both games, holding on to win the first game , then retiring the first 14 batters he faced in game two on the way to a two-hit shutout.

That made Watson, who won 50 games in an otherwise unremarkable major league career, the last man to do doubleheader duty twice in a season. On that latter date, two other pitchers also started both games of a double dip: Red Faber for the White Sox against the Tigers, and Phil Douglas, for the Cubs against the Cardinals.

Coincidentally, it was Labor Day. Christy Mathewson who never started both games of a doubleheader in his Hall of Fame pitching career gained one distinction in his only full season as a manager, in with the Reds: he was the only pilot ever to have three different pitchers start both games of a doubleheader in a season. Toney had the most success, going the distance in both games against the Pirates in Cincinnati and allowing only three hits in each all singles , winning and That remains the fewest total hits ever allowed by a pitcher who started and won both ends of a doubleheader.

Those games were the second and third games in the five-game career of Honus Wagner as a major league manager. The year-old Wagner was in his final season as a player; he played first base and batted cleanup for his Pirates in both games, getting one hit in each.
