Cincinnati first baseman Billy Earle had a terrific game, but it still wasn't enough to get his team a win. Earle went 2 for 2 with a home run, 2 walks, and was hit by a pitch, while adding 2 RBI and scoring once, even as New York beat the Reds, 8-7. The winning pitcher was Jesse Burkett. He tossed 168 pitches over 9 innings, allowing 7 runs on 12 hits. The loss has the Reds at 1-2.

Willie Clark hit a run-scoring triple off Lady Baldwin in the bottom of the seventh, which put the Giants in front, 5-4. Clark had 2 singles, in addition to the triple. For the game, he went 3 for 5.

"I'm proud to wear a New York jersey," Clark told the New York Chronicle. "We played a good game and came out with the win. What more can you ask for?"
