The Philadelphia Unions powered past the Indianapolis Westerners, 15-7, at Western Grounds. John Casey provided some of the pop. He went 3 for 6 with 2 home runs and a double, while scoring 3 and driving in 4. Bancroft King got credit for the win, improving to 4-3. He allowed 7 runs on 9 hits in 9 innings. The Westerners fall to 7-11 and continue their uneven start to the 1888 season.

Early in the game, Casey had a 3-run home run for Philadelphia. It was his 5th home run of the season and put the Unions on top, 3-0.

"We'll keep playing hard and let the chips fall where they may," said Philadelphia manager .
