Giants Top Royals, 5-4
The Detroit Giants did just enough to secure a victory over the Cincinnati Royals, 5-4, in 10 innings at The Castle. Nobody did more than center fielder Ionut Irimia. The winner was Detroit reliever Tommy Swift, now 1-1. The loser was Roberto Salazar. Detroit has now won 3 in a row.

Irimia broke a deadlock in the top of the tenth inning, when he hit a sacrifice fly, putting Detroit up, 5-4.

"Honestly, I'm not frustrated," said Cincinnati manager Justin Aaron. "The effort was great."
