New York Gotham pitcher Mickey Welch strikes out the first nine Cleveland Blues hitters to come to the plate, establishing a major league record. The mark will last until 1970, when Mets right-hander Tom Seaver strikes out the last ten San Diego he faces in a Shea Stadium contest.
Harry Stovey’s 3 triples and 2 singles contribute to Philadelphia’s 20-1 pounding of Baltimore (AA). Two of his triples come in the 8th inning.
At Detroit’s Recreation Park, Bison hurler Pud Galvin throws the most lopsided no-hitter in baseball history when the team beats the Wolverines, 18-0. The victory is the second career no-hitter for the 27 year-old Buffalo right-hander, who also held the Worcester Worcesters hitless in 1880.
