Giants Bridle Gladiators, 4-2
The Detroit Giants handed the Phoenix Gladiators a 4-2 defeat at Ballpark of Detroit. First Baseman Angelo Mejia starred for Detroit. He was 2 for 3 with a home run, a double, and a walk. He drove in 2 runs and scored once. Lee Maher closed it out for Detroit, earning his 7th save. The Gladiators, now 8-20, continue their slow start.

The Gladiators had been locked in a 2-2 tie with the Giants going into the bottom of the sixth inning. That changed quickly when the 23-year old first baseman Ruben Cabriales came to the plate. Cabriales hit a 2-run home run on a 0-1 slider from Phoenix hurler Hector Berrios. It was Cabriales's 6th home run of the year.

Mejia called the win "a collective effort."
