Wilbur Wood was hammered in the first game and was "rewarded" by getting the start for the nightcap, in which he was hammered and lost again.

The Yankees were 56-43 at that point and in first place, but finished at .500 and in fourth place.

Is that the last time a pitcher started two games on the same day?
