St. Louis came into Milwaukee for a three game series having lost three straight games. Staley started for the Whites. He struck out five and allowed only five singles, but three of those were in the fifth inning. Mills led of the inning for Milwaukee with a single. Horner, the pitcher, was hit in the head by a pitch. He sat for a pinch runner (Lowe). Nicholson made an error on a hit by Warner, loading the bases. Forster singled, driving in one run and moving the pinch runner Lowe to third. At this point, Lowe was due up, so Pettee took up the running. Lowe then singled, scoring Pettee and Warner. After Milwaukee was retired, Horner came out and resumed pitching. Milwaukee's other two runs scored in the seventh. Forster walked, advanced to third on a single by Strauss, and scored on a wild pitch. Strauss stole second, advanced to third on a fielders choice, and scored on a sacrifice. Sacrifices were controversial at the time, and there was discussion of banning them. Staley scored the only run for the Whites after leading off the third with a double.
