Cleveland wins 19-7 over Chicago to run its winning streak to 6. The Spiders are 36-18 and tied for first with Baltimore at 38-19.

2nd

Kid Nichols wins a battle of 2-hitters with Washington's James "Doc" McJames to give Boston a 4-2 decision.

3rd

New York wastes a triple play and 2 DPs and is whitewashed by Baltimore 6-0.

4th

Washington and Philadelphia split a wild doubleheader. Washington wins the opener 13-8, while Philadelphia overcomes a 14-5 deficit to win the nightcap 15-14. The 2 teams combine for a ML record 73 hits for the twin bill. The record is tied on July 6, 1929.

6th

After the Pittsburgh-Washington contest, umpire Tim Hurst hits Pirate players Jake Stenzel and Emerson "Pink" Hawley in the jaw in response to repeated verbal attacks by the players during the game. According the the New York Clipper "neither player resented the attack."

8th

St. Louis suffers its 14th straight loss, the longest losing streak of the season. Roger Connor is fired and replaced as player-manager by Tommy Dowd, who becomes the 5th St. Louis manager of the season.

The Pirates hammer out 22 hits in a driving rain to humiliate Washington 19-0.

13th

Ed Delahanty of Philadelphia hits 4 inside-the-park HRs against Chicago, 3 in consecutive at bats. He also has a single and drives in 7 runs. Despite this feat the Phillies lose 9-8.

Cleveland falls to 3rd place (behind Cincinnati and Baltimore) after its 5-2 loss to New York. Spider manager Patsy Tebeau, after being suspended by NL president Nick Young for past transgressions, plays anyway after obtaining restraining orders on umpire Tim Hurst, New York manager Arthur Irwin, and Giant captain William "Kid" Gleason.

Deacon McGuire's 5 hits, including 2 doubles, are enough to lead Washington to a 14-1 win over St. Louis.

15th

Bones Ely's 5 hits fail to prevent Pittsburgh's 2-1 loss to Boston.

16th

Cincinnati beats Baltimore 5-0 for its 11th straight win. The streak has moved the Reds into first place.

17th

Pittsburgh defeats Philadelphia 8-7 in a bizarre finish. The Phillies score 3 runs in the top of the 9th inning to take a 7-5 lead only to see Pittsburgh score 3 in the bottom of the inning for the win. Ely scores the tying run from 3B as the Phillies argue with umpire Bette following a disputed call. Philadelphia had neglected to request time out. Kid Carsey then comes in to relieve Jack Taylor and balks in the winning run.

19th

A crowd of 24,900 at Cincinnati is disappointed when the Reds lose to Baltimore 14-6. The Orioles score 9 runs in the 7th to tie Cincinnati for first place.

23rd

Cy Young pitches no-hit ball for 82Ž3 innings before surrendering a hit to Ed Delahanty in a 2-0 win over Philadelphia. The win is Cleveland's 6th straight and leaves them one game out of first place.

24th

Baltimore wins over St. Louis by forfeit. After the Orioles score the first 5 runs in the top of the 13th to break an 8-8 tie, St. Louis flagrantly delays in the bottom of the inning, prompting umpire Bob Emslie to call the forfeit.

25th

The 2nd game of the doubleheader between New York and Pittsburgh is stopped after the top of the 8th with the Pirates ahead 7-2 because the flooding Allegheny has inundated the field.

26th

In the 8th inning of Cincinnati's 10-1 win over Cleveland, Cincinnati's Eddie Burke steals 2nd and collides with 2B "Cupid" Childs. The subsequent fistfight is joined by other players, and then Cincinnati fans. More than 50 police are needed to clear the field.

28th

Cincinnati's 9-8 win over Cleveland is the Reds' 8th straight victory. Upset by the umpiring, Cleveland player-manager Tebeau comes in to pitch in the 9th with runners on 2B and 3B, no outs, and an 8-8 tie. He promptly gives up the game-winning hit to Germany Smith. This would be Tebeau's only ML pitching appearance.

St. Louis takes advantage of 18 hits, 13 Louisville errors, and 11 walks to stomp the Colonels 20-5.

31st

After a disputed call, Pirates P Frank Killen hits umpire Daniel Lally in the face. When Lally responds in kind, hundreds of Pittsburgh fans charge onto the field. Eventually Killen is arrested for disorderly conduct.
