Detroit Beats Oakland, 2-1
In a low-scoring affair between the Detroit Giants and the Oakland Invaders, pitcher Quito Herrera was the difference between victory and defeat. The Detroit left-hander earned accolades for his stellar performance in the 2-1 Giants win. Lee Maher nailed down his 7th save. Detroit is now 14-32, Oakland 23-23.

Chris Lutz, who is tied for 9th in the AC in home runs with 8, had a direct impact on the outcome. Lutz contributed a run-scoring ground out in the top of the fifth inning to put Detroit up, 2-0.

"I executed the game plan," said Herrera.
