Mike Wroten was locked in. The right-hander led the Detroit Giants to a 5-4 win against the Boston Whistlers at Ballpark of Detroit. Lee Maher closed the door for Detroit, picking up his 7th save of the year. At 14-3, the 2026 Giants have been excellent so far.

The Giants got a big hit from second baseman Fernando Espindola. Facing Boston pitcher Danny Offen in the bottom of the fifth, Espindola pounded a solo home run to right. His 2nd home run of the season put the Giants ahead, 5-0.

"Some wins are easy and some are difficult, but either way we come to the ballpark ready to work hard every day," Espindola told the Detroit Times.
