Boston Red Stockings (17-15) at Louisville Grays (20-11)
After a 17-6 start, Louisville have gone only 3-5, while Boston are in the process of regrouping from a bad start. A loss today would drop Louisville into a tie with Chicago for first place in the National League, and Boston themselves would only be 2 1/2 games back in that situation.
This game stayed close until Louisville scored eight runs in their final two trips to the plate. Jim Devlin clobbered four hits for the Grays as they maintained their narrow lead over the Chicagos.
