Baltimore set the tone of the game in the first inning scoring 2 runners on 1 hit. That early run support was enough for Blackburn(2-0) and Baltimore. Baltimore managed 15 hits in their victory. Jimmy Callahan(8-11) was given the loss. His ERA ballooned from 3.87 to 4.26 as he allowed 12 runs in 9 innings. With this win, Baltimore has a league leading 46-19 record. They have been 7-3 lately. Still in a bad slump, with this loss, Chicago is 2-8 lately and 28-42 on the year.
