The Baltimore Orioles overcame a good performance by Cleveland third baseman Ed McFarland to knock off Cleveland, 7-4, at League Park I. McFarland went 4-4 with 4 singles and was hit by a pitch. Matt Kilroy, the winner, goes to 3-4. He allowed 4 runs on 14 hits, with 2 walks and 4 strikeouts over 9 innings. The Spiders fall to 6-14 and continue their unimpressive start to the 1897 season.

The Orioles had to work out of trouble in the bottom of the ninth. The score was 7-4, Baltimore, with one out. Cleveland, with the bases loaded, was mounting a threat. Jocko Fields dug in at the plate, but on a 1-2 changeup, he hit into a double play.
