CLEVELAND SPIDERS AT BALTIMORE ORIOLES
GAME ID: 3605 - SUNDAY, AUGUST 15TH , 1897 - GAME LOG
  1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 R H E
Cleveland Spiders (49-75) 0 3 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 4 10 2
Baltimore Orioles (58-66) 2 0 1 0 1 0 1 0 X 5 9 1
Orioles Subdue Spiders, 5-4
Starting pitcher Les German pitched well enough to help the Baltimore Orioles beat the Cleveland Spiders, 5-4. In 9 innings, German surrendered 10 hits, while striking out 6 and walking 1. He allowed 4 runs. The Orioles, at 58-66, sit in 5th place in the American League.

Had John McGraw not delivered a key base hit in the bottom of the seventh, the outcome might have been different. Instead, with two down and a runner on 2nd, McGraw hit a run-scoring single. That made the score 5-4, in favor of the Orioles.

"I just tried to attack the bottom of the zone," German said.
