Wednesday, April 27, 1887
The day before Opening Day, Cincinnati traded 3B Mike Green (38-6.2) to Milwaukee for P Dan Burton (31-4.9). Burton has been pitching for New Haven of the Eastern League (A) where he has not been very effective. He led the GNA in losses last season.
Also, the Kansas City Cowboys released RF Jim Oman (26-5.8) this morning. Which means the trade they made back in February with Detroit was basically to give their 2nd round Draft pick to the Wolverines for Detroit's 8th round pick. Not to mention that they threw in a slick-fielding shortstop to boot. Oman was signed by St. Louis to a minor league contract before the day was over.
Grand National Association:
Brooklyn (6) at Providence (4): Willis Kornfield (34-6.0) (1-0) over Bill Henson (30-6.5) (0-1). 3B William Abbott (29-6.5), in his season debut, had 4 hits, stole a base, scored a run and had an RBI.
Omaha (7) at Baltimore (10): Tom Wilmarth (27-5.4) (2-1) over Tom Lee (29-6.0) (2-1).
Kansas City (6) at St. Louis (9): Fred Barrow (35-4.7) (1-2) over Al McClaughry (23-5.6) (3-2). 2B Harry Robinson (28-3.3) hit a home run.
Chicago (9) at Milwaukee (1): Pat Seguin (23-4.4) (4-0) over Zachary Buchanan (26-4.0) (2-2). Seguin allowed 6 hits, 1 walk and struck out 3.
