Star hurler for the Giants Jesse Barnes last season leads the National League with 25 wins. Picking up where he left off Barnes (2-1) limits the Robins to a pair of late runs on just four hits and three walks with three strikeouts en route to his second straight complete game victory. The visiting New Yorkers build a 5-0 lead through six innings. But only two runs are earned as three costly errors are the Robins undoing. Brooklyn starter Leon Cadore (2-1) is relieved after six innings having yielded all five runs on six hits and two walks with six strikeouts. Giants first baseman High Pockets Kelly is 1 for 4 with a double and three runs batted in. Center fielder Bernie Kauff is likewise 1 for 4 with a double, and two runs batted in. For Brooklyn single runs in the seventh and eighth innings prove too little too late. Third baseman Jimmy Johnston accounts for half of Brooklyn's hits and runs batted in. Second baseman Pete Kilduff is 1 for 3 with Brooklyn's only other run batted in. Zack Wheat is held hitless, his hit streak to begin the season ends at eight.
- RECORD: 6-3 (.666)
- 1st place; tied
