Larry Black got the win, improving to 16-7. He worked 7 innings, giving up no runs on 4 hits, while striking out 4 and walking 2.

In the bottom of the fourth, the Wolverines found themselves in a jam. New York had the bases loaded with two out. The score was 3-0, Detroit. Jim Caldwell was at the plate, hoping to deal the Wolverines a serious blow. Instead, he popped out to end the threat.
