Detroit right-hander Nick Turpen pitched his team to victory over the Mexico City Aztecs at Gran Estadio Azteca. The final score was 5-1. With the win, Detroit raised its record to 24-14.

Fernando Espindola had a big 2-run home run for the Giants in the top of the third inning. With Detroit leading 1-0 and a runner on 2nd, he sized up a cutter from Jay Sikora, who is tied for 6th in the NC in wins with 4, and punished it. The result was his 4th home run of the season, which put the Giants on top, 3-0.

Detroit manager Larry Voltaire praised his team's "businesslike approach."
