The Detroit Wolverines topped the Los Angeles Pobladores, 6-3, in American Baseball League action at San Vicente Park. The game was highlighted by the performance of Detroit pitcher Juan Rodriguez. The first-place Wolverines, at 83-52, now lead their division by 6½ games.

Rodriguez, a native of León, Mexico, was dealing all game. He kept Los Angeles hitters off-balance, while giving the Wolverines 9 quality innings. Rodriguez threw 128 pitches, allowing 6 hits and striking out 13.

"I liked his command," said Detroit manager Alex Wobbema. "Juan was throwing strikes."
