Boston Reds (73-57) 1 0 0 1 1 0 3 0 0 6 11 1
Cleveland Spiders (51-79) 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 4 X 7 13 4
Spiders Snag 7-6 Win
Boston right fielder Kiernan Stevens was sensational. He went 3-4 with 3 singles and a walk, while scoring 2 times, but it wasn't enough to rally his team to a win. Cleveland beat the Reds, 7-6. The winner was Sid Kitson, who threw 127 pitches over 8 innings. The right-hander was charged with 6 runs on 11 hits. Cy Young locked down his 4th save.

Had Jocko Fields not delivered a key base hit in the bottom of the eighth, the outcome might have been different. Instead, with two down and runners on 1st and 2nd, Fields hit a run-scoring single. That made the score 7-6, in favor of the Spiders.

"I'm just happy to help the team win," Fields told the Cleveland Observer.

The win has Cleveland at 51-79.
