The opening game was a [[pitchers' duel]] between Christy Mathewson and Eddie Plank. Both got out of jams, shutting the opposing offense down. In the Giants' top of the fifth, Mathewson singled, but was forced by Roger Bresnahan, who [[Stolen base|stole]] second shortly afterwards. After George Browne [[pop fly|popped out]], Mike Donlin singled to left, scoring Bresnahan and advancing Donlin to second. After Dan McGann [[base on balls|walk]]ed, Sam Mertes doubled, bringing home Donlin. In the Athletics' half of the sixth, Ossee Schreckengost doubled and advanced to third on a [[wild pitch]], but did not score, and was the lone runner to reach third base against Mathewson in the entire series. The Giants added an [[insurance run]] in the ninth, when Billy Gilbert scored on Bresnahan's single. This was the first of Mathewson's three [[complete game|complete-game]] [[shutout (baseball)|shutout]]s, a World Series record that may never be matched.
