Williams pitched five innings, allowing two runs on three hits. He struck out one, but issued four walks. Lum Harris was tagged with the 6-5 loss, in relief.

Philadelphia has a day off on May 31, then travels to St. Louis to take on the Brown, in yet another twinbill. Standings will be posted after the May 31st games.
