James Cruises in Win Over Clippers
1888 is shaping up to be a forgettable year for the Cleveland Clippers.

The St. Louis Pilots did not need a Herculean effort from starter Will James, not with their offense scoring runs at will. St. Louis dispatched the Cleveland Clippers, 16-2. St. Louis is first in the International Association with a record of 67-37.

James's performance can only be described as masterful. He notched 4 strikeouts in 9 innings while allowing 6 hits. James, who is on pace to win 33 games this season, goes to 25-17 on the year with 168 strikeouts.

"You can't sugarcoat this one," said Cleveland manager . "They knocked us on our cans."
