Pirates Roll to 9-2 Win Over Giants
The exploits of first baseman Otto Schomberg, who led the NL in wins above replacement with 6.4 in 1886, helped the Pittsburgh Pirates defeat the New York Giants, 9-2. Schomberg was 1-4 with a home run and a walk. He drove in 5 runs and scored once. Pittsburgh, at 19-29, occupies 7th place in the National League.

With Pittsburgh leading 2-1 in the bottom of the second, Schomberg hit a changeup from Jesse Burkett for a grand slam home run. It was his 3rd home run of the season and put the Pirates ahead, 6-1.

"We took it on the chin today," said losing manager Chris Petty.
