The St. Louis Browns defeated the Columbus Solons, 11-3, at Sportsman's Park I. St. Louis right fielder Rasty Wright had a superb performance. He went 3-3 with 3 singles and 2 walks. He scored 5 runs. The winning pitcher was Bob Caruthers. He tossed 124 pitches over 9 innings, allowing 3 runs on 8 hits. For the Solons, the loss makes them 6-13.

Matt Lenz dealt the Solons a blow in the bottom of the second. Batting with the bases loaded and St. Louis leading 3-0, Lenz, who finished 4th in the AL in batting average with .315 in 1892, hit a 1-0 fastball for a 2-run single.

"It was our day today," Wright told the St. Louis Gazette. "But we've got to keep our nose to the grindstone."
