Cincinnati Shut Out, 7-0, By Brahmins, Burns
The bats were ice cold for the Cincinnati Monarchs at Queen City Grounds II. Boston Brahmins starter Ken Burns kept the Monarchs cold all day, shutting them out, 7-0. In a fine outing, the 30-year-old hurler allowed 2 hits while striking out 2 and walking 0.

"I'm not quite sure what was different today," Burns admitted later. "I didn't feel like I was doing anything differently, but the results speak for themselves."

This year, Burns has a 1-6 mark in 8 starts with a 4.60 ERA. He has given up 69 hits in 62.2 innings, struck out 25 and issued 22 walks. Opposing clubs have compiled a .264 batting average against him.
