Westerners Suffer 5-3 Home Defeat
Starting pitcher Jack McKinley pitched well enough to help the New York Barons beat the Indianapolis Westerners, 5-3. The Westerners fall to 9-13 and continue their lethargic start to the 1888 season.

New York relied on the hitting of Albert Torgerson to pick up the win. The catcher ripped a 2-run single in the top of the fourth inning to put the Barons on top, 2-1. For the game, Torgerson had 1 triple and 1 single in 3 at-bats.

"I was just taking it batter by batter, just enjoying the moment," said McKinley.
