The St. Louis Pilots and starting pitcher Zebulon Eldridge stifled the Cleveland offense en route to a comfortable 8-1 win at Lakefront Park. Eldridge, now 9-1, was the winner. In 9 innings, he gave up 6 hits, while striking out 2, walking 2, and allowing 1 run. The Pilots, now 21-5, have had a terrific start to the season.

Charlie Scheer, who finished 5th in the IA in wins above replacement with 5.2 in 1885, aided the St. Louis cause with a run-scoring sacrifice fly in the top of the first. For the game, the center fielder drove in one run.

Cleveland manager said: "Over the course of the season, you're going to have little ruts where you're not getting the breaks and when you're not playing well. This is one of them."
