Giants Deal Whistlers 5-2 Defeat
Whislters Park was the site for American Conference action featuring the Boston Whistlers and Detroit Giants.

The Detroit Giants beat the Boston Whistlers by a score of 5-2. Detroit left fielder Ionut Irimia deserved the lion's share of the credit. Irimia went 3-3 with a home run, 2 singles, and a walk, while adding 2 RBI and scoring once for the Giants. Danny Offen, the winner, improved to 1-1. He held the Whistlers to 2 runs on 6 hits over 6.1 innings, while striking out 2 and walking 5.

Travis Collier, who finished 3rd in the AC in doubles with 49 in 2017, aided the Detroit cause with a run-scoring ground out in the top of the first. For the game, the first baseman was 1-4.

Detroit manager Sean O'Leary commended his team for exhibiting "no shortage of effort."

The Whistlers, now 3-9, continue their poor start.
