The Cleveland Spiders beat the Memphis Red Sox, 9-8, at League Park. The Spiders got a fine performance from left fielder Paul O'Neill, who was 2-4 with a home run, a double, and a walk, while scoring 2 runs and driving in 3. Sergio Romo was the winner in relief. His record is now 1-2. The losing pitcher was Tommy de la Cruz. Cleveland now has a record of 88-70 with the win.

John Ellis was the walk-off hero for Cleveland. With the game tied in the bottom of the ninth inning, the Spiders catcher hit a dramatic run-scoring single to send the teams home.

"Nice to tuck this win away," said O'Neill.
