2nd

Still Bill Hill's 2-hitter helps Louisville edge Chicago 2-1. In the 6th inning Billy Clingman, in a failed attempt to score the game's first run, spikes Chicago C Tim Donahue. Donahue attempts to retaliate by throwing the ball at Clipman but is prevented from doing so.

6th

Cincinnati's Frank Dwyer defeats Pittsburgh 4-2 for his 13th consecutive win.

Philadelphia jumps to a 10-0 lead over Brooklyn, but the Bridegrooms charge back, scoring 2 runs with 2 out in the bottom of the 9th to claim a well-earned 11-10 victory.

8th

Baltimore defeats Washington 21-16. Each team hits exactly the same number of singles as its run total, with the 37 singles establishing a still-standing ML record for a 9-inning game. Baltimore star John McGraw makes his first appearance of the season when he pinch-hits in the 3rd. McGraw has been sidelined with typhoid fever. The New York Clipper box score for the game credits the Orioles with only 20 singles (plus 3 doubles and a HR), not 21. The record claimed for singles in this game may be suspect.
