Detroit Tags Montreal with 7-3 Defeat
Detroit beat Montreal on the strength of starting pitcher William Matz's fine effort. The left-hander led his team to a win, 7-3. The winning pitcher was Matz, now 6-4. He tossed 8 innings of 5-hit ball, while walking 0 and fanning 8. The third-place Wolverines now have a win-loss record of 27-23.

Who knows how it might've ended, had it not been for Emil Wathen? The Detroit second baseman had a bases-clearing double in the top of the sixth inning to put the Wolverines on top, 7-3. For the game, Wathen had 1 double and 1 single in 4 at-bats.

"Winning the game is always the first objective," Wathen said.
