Rain wiped out three of the seven scheduled games on April 30, 1920, and shortened the contest between the Red Sox and Yankees in New York. The Braves beat Brooklyn 3-0 in the lowest scoring game of the day, while the Athletics took the Senators in Washington 9-6 in a high scoring game marred by poor defense.

Cy Perkins of the Athletics led the day offensively going three for three with a triple and two walks. At seasonal age 24, Perkins was in his second season as a full-time catcher, and right in the middle of the three-year peak of his career, earning three rWAR that season. A good catcher, he became better known for his coaching.

On the pitching side, the shutout by Hugh McQuillan of the Braves was far and above the best pitched game of the day. He allowed four hits and one walk while striking out three. At age 24, McQuillan was in his first full season as a starter, but he would not shine until joining the Giants in 1922.

Offensive player of the month goes to Joe Jackson, in his last hurrah before scandal catches up with him and the White Sox. Jackson slashed .469/.564/.750, leading the majors in all three categories.

Lefty Williams takes home pitcher of the month, as he manages to go 4-0 with a 1.38 ERA in 39 innings. That’s 39 innings in about two weeks.
