The Orioles were within three outs of tying the 1903 Pirates' major league record of six straight shutouts, but then had to settle for a 3-2 victory over the Indians when Charlie Spikes homered with a man on base in the ninth inning. Ross Grimsley had the Indians under control on four hits until George Hendrick doubled and Spikes snapped the Orioles' shutout string with his round-tripper.
