2nd

Chicago commits 20 errors, while New York records 10, as New York defeats Chicago 22-7 in the sloppiest game of the year. One player on each team plays error-free.

9th

After falling behind 5-2 in the 2nd inning, Boston rallies to whip Detroit 30-8. Paul Radford and Jim Whitney each get 5 hits, and Whitney sets a ML record by scoring 6 runs. This record will stand until 1886.

Philadelphia (NL) receives permission to charge 25¢ for admission, instead of 50¢, to allow them to compete with their popular crosstown rivals, the AA-leading Athletics. Philadelphia's attendance quadruples for the rest of the season.

13th

With the Allegheny field "half overflown with water" following a series of floods in Pittsburgh, Columbus overcomes the waterlogged home club 25-10, scoring in every inning.

20th

Boston mauls Philadelphia 29-4, as Sam Wise goes 6-for-7 with 4 extra-base hits. Wise, Ezra Sutton, and Joe Hornung each score 5 runs. Philadelphia helps by committing 21 errors.
