Yes, the team is headed in the wrong direction! The Cleveland Naps (11-9) competed the 3-game sweep of the Boston Americans (9-11) with a 6 to 4 win in front of 4,682 disappointed hometown fans.

Cleveland ace Watty Lee (3-2) picked up the win by limiting the opposition to 4 runs (3 earned) on 8 hits, 2 wild pitches, and 1 hit batsman to finish with a Game Score of 59. Cy Young was tagged with the loss after serving up 6 earned runs on 11 hits and 4 walks; Game Score of 41. It is still early in the season, but the slow start may be indication that father-time has finally caught up to Young.

At the dish, the Naps were powered by Doc Gessler (3 for 5, Double), Ed Delahanty (2 for 5, Double, 2 Runs, 1 RBI), Zeke Wrigley (3 for 4, 1 Run, 2 RBIs), and Watty Lee (1 for 3, Triple, 1 Run, 2 RBIs, 1 Walk). The Americans received help from Frank Chance (2 for 4, Double), Dave Brain (2 for 4, 1 Run), and Homer Smoot (2 for 4, 1 Run, 1 RBI, 1 Stolen Base).

Player of the Game: Watty Lee
