St. Louis Cardinals starter Grover Cleveland Alexander pitched a strong game against the Pittsburgh Pirates at Forbes Field, leading the Cardinals to victory, 7-6. Alexander went the distance for St. Louis. He gave up 6 runs on 7 hits. The Pirates fall to 8-12 and continue to sputter in the early going.

George H Burns's at-bat in the top of the ninth was significant, coming with a runner on 3rd and the game tied, 5-5. The St. Louis first baseman hit a run-scoring single off Tom Tuckey to put the Cardinals up.

"We took advantage of our opportunities," Burns told the St. Louis Observer. "It's as simple as that."
