Montreal Habitants starter Manny Esparza worked his magic, to help his team defeat the Detroit Wolverines, 4-0. Esparza, the winner, moves to 7-5. He threw 5 innings of 2-hit ball, while fanning 4 and giving up 2 walks. The 4th-place Wolverines dropped to 50-44.

Montreal used the hitting of Jerry Sullivan to pick up the win. The left fielder clubbed a solo home run in the top of the sixth inning to put the Habitants on top, 2-0. For the game, Sullivan had 1 home run and 1 single in 3 at-bats.

"I put my work in and trusted the process," said Esparza.
