Berkman goes 3-for-4 in Spiders Win
The Cleveland Spiders beat the Baltimore Black Sox, 9-0, at League Park. Lance Berkman, who is tied for 7th in the AL in home runs with 43, starred for Cleveland. He went 3-4 with a double, 2 singles, and a walk, while scoring 2 and driving in 3. Cleveland leads the American League Bill James Division by 2½ games.

In the bottom of the third, Berkman had one of his most important at-bats: a run-scoring single off Mike Mussina that staked the Spiders to a 1-0 lead.

Said losing manager Daniel Makonnen: "We need to play with more of an edge."
