Chiefs Lose to Gothams, 6-3
New York and Chicago duked it out and the Gothams came out victorious.

Isaiah Redbird was a major contributor to the 6-3 New York win over Chicago. The Gothams shortstop went 3-4 with a home run and 2 doubles. He scored 2 runs and drove in 2. The winning pitcher was Red Blanchard. He tossed 111 pitches over 7 innings, allowing 3 runs on 9 hits.

Had Ed Holmes not delivered a key base hit in the bottom of the seventh, the outcome might have been different. Instead, with two down and runners on 2nd and 3rd, Holmes hit a 2-run single. That made the score 4-3, in favor of the Gothams.

Holmes told a New York Times reporter that he was "gratified" with the win.

The losses continue to mount for Chicago, which has now dropped 7 in a row.
