1st June 1884
The fans were happy to see the team put up a winning month in May but are a little worried that the overall form may not be good enough to have a run at the pennant. The team won 17 of the 28 games played. This has left them in 3rd place in the AL table, 8.5 games behind the leaders.
The team started the month in average form as they went 3-1on the road to the Chicago White Sox and 1-1 at home to the Cleveland Blues before going 2-2 at home to the Philadelphia Atheltics. They picked it up a little with a 3-0 road trip win against the Boston Americans before going back to average with a 2-2 home series against the Baltimore Orioles. This average form continued with a 1-1 home series against the Detroit Wolverines and a 2-2 home series against the Washington Nationals. They finished the month by going 1-2 at home to the Chicago White Sox and 2-0 on the road to the Detroit Wolverines.
The solid month for the team was led by the pitching. The best of these was Larry Corcoran. Corcoran pitched 117 innings in his 14 starts to win 8 games. He gave up 141 hits and 41 earned runs for an ERA of 3.14.
Some good news was forthcoming from the treatment room as Second Baseman John Shetzline returned from injury.
