Giants Earn Clutch Win, 6-5
The Detroit Giants cut down the New York Nightmare by the score of 6-5, with the largest share of the credit going to right fielder D'Andre Lyons. Lyons was 3 for 5 with 3 singles for the Giants. Steve McCutcheon came out of the bullpen to earn the win. The right-hander allowed no runs on 1 hit in 2 innings. His record now stands at 1-0. The Giants, now 17-7, have been red hot.

Angelo Mejia went 1 for 4 with a home run, while adding 3 RBI and scoring once for Detroit. With one out and the game tied in the top of the ninth inning, Mejia, who finished 5th in the AC in doubles with 42 in 2022, had a clutch at-bat. Facing New York hurler Adam Coleman, he hit a sacrifice fly to give the Giants a 6-5 lead.

"We had the game right there for the taking," said New York manager Tyrone Hairston. "But we decided not to take it."
