St. Louis Brown Stockings (4-15) at Chicago White Stockings (13-7)

Chicago was a half-game back headed into this game, and needed the win to keep pace with the Grays. They hosted lowly St. Louis, a club they'd certainly be expected to beat handily.

It didn't go that way though. Lip Pike came up big for the Brown Stockings and Chicago slipped a full game back as they went behind early and never recovered.
