The St. Louis Browns topped the Cleveland Spiders, 8-3, in Western League action at Sportsman's Park I. The standout performance belonged to St. Louis pitcher and Greencastle, Indiana, native Josh Shields. Shields, now 12-8, was the winner. In 9 innings, he gave up 5 hits, while striking out 6, walking 3, and allowing 3 runs. The Browns win now puts them at 35-62.

Making an impact for St. Louis was first baseman Jimmy Williams. He drilled a run-scoring double off Justin Huber in the bottom of the third. For the game, Williams was 3-4 with a double and 2 singles.

"Scoring runs is scoring runs," said St. Louis skipper Jim Dee. "It's important to have different ways to do it."
