Spiders Win at Chicago, 10-7
Spirited fans at Wrigley Field greeted the Chicago Cubs for their clash with the Cleveland Spiders.

Tomas Perez led Cleveland to a win over Chicago. The final score was 10-7. Perez collected 2 runs batted in, while going 4 for 5 at the plate. The second baseman also scored 2 times. Cleveland starter John Thomson was credited with the win after throwing 121 pitches over 7.2 innings. His record now stands at 9-6. Willie Banks was credited with the save. He has now successfully converted 3 of 9 save opportunities.

Cleveland used the timely hitting of Todd Hundley to capture the win. The catcher socked a run-scoring double in the top of the fifth inning to put the Spiders ahead, 3-1. It was his only hit in 5 at-bats, but it was an important one.

"As well as we've been playing, I think we can play even better," said Cleveland manager Wilson Ogle.

The Spiders have now won 4 straight.
