Black Sox Lose to Spiders, 6-2
Starting pitcher Yordano Ventura was a major factor in the 6-2 Cleveland Spiders triumph over the Baltimore Black Sox. Ventura picked up the win for Cleveland, going 5.2 innings. He gave up 2 runs on 7 hits. He now sports a record of 6-6. The victory gives Cleveland a record of 65-48.

Cleveland used a clutch at-bat from Chuck Knoblauch to capture the win. The second baseman hammered a 3-run home run in the top of the second inning to put the Spiders ahead, 4-0. It was his lone hit in 4 at-bats, but it was a humdinger.

Knoblauch called the win "a collective effort."
