Detroit Defeats Cincinnati, 4-1
The Detroit Giants faced a tough opponent in Cincinnati pitcher John Wright, but did just enough to pull out the victory at The Castle by a final score of 4-1. Wright went 7.1 innings and allowed 3 runs. Justin Thompson, who finished 3rd in the AC in wins with 15 last year, was the winning pitcher. Over 6.1 innings, he allowed 1 run on 3 hits, with 4 walks and 5 strikeouts. The save went to Lee Maher, number 9 for him.

Ben Barbone, who finished 3rd in the AC in doubles with 45 in 2022, had a direct impact on the outcome. Barbone contributed a run-scoring walk in the top of the eighth inning to put Detroit up, 3-1.

Barbone attributed the win to his team's "steely resolve."

With the win, Detroit has a record of 16-17. Cincinnati falls to 15-18.
