The Cleveland Spiders trumped the Boston Red Sox, 9-3, at League Park. Cleveland shortstop Tomas Perez was named player of the game for his performance. He was 3 for 3 with a triple, a double, and a walk, while scoring 2 times and driving in 3. The winner was John Thomson, who threw 112 pitches over 9 innings. The right-hander was charged with 3 runs on 6 hits. Cleveland is 4th in the Federal League East Division with a record of 73-73.

Perez's key contribution came in the bottom of the fourth when he sent a first pitch fastball into right for a 2-run triple. It put the Spiders ahead, 3-2.

"It's always a heck of a lot easier to get to sleep after a win," Perez told the Cleveland News. "I know I'll rest easy tonight."
