Cleveland starter John Thomson pitched effectively against the Cincinnati Reds at League Park. The right-hander led his team to a 5-4 win. Cleveland reliever Willie Banks picked up the win, upping his record to 2-0. Doug Henry was saddled with the loss. The Spiders raised their record to 7-4.

The game was at a stalemate until center fielder Marquis Grissom came to bat in the bottom of the tenth. Facing Cincinnati pitcher Doug Henry, he hit a 0-2 fastball for a run-scoring single. It was a game-changer, putting Cleveland on top, 5-4.

"I believe in our guys," said Cleveland skipper Wilson Ogle. "I like the energy they're playing with."
