  1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 R H E
Baltimore Black Sox (63-78) 2 0 0 0 0 0 2 2 0 6 9 0
Cleveland Spiders (78-63) 0 0 1 4 0 1 0 1 X 7 9 1
Black Sox Handed 7-6 Loss by Cleveland
The Cleveland Spiders weathered an outstanding game by Baltimore left fielder Frank Robinson to topple the Black Sox, 7-6. Robinson went 3 for 4 with a home run and 2 singles, while scoring 2 runs and driving in 2. Cory Gearrin converted his 7th save in 11 tries. The victory gives Cleveland a record of 78-63.

Cleveland took a 7-6 lead on Lance Berkman's 50th home run of the season. The solo home run, which Berkman hit in the bottom of the eighth, left Baltimore pitcher John Tudor visibly frustrated.

"Very pleased with the effort on our side," said Berkman.
