Giants Top Invaders, 6-4
The Detroit Giants took Zachary Christman's best shot and still were able to collect a win at Howard Terminal. The final score had Detroit getting past the Invaders, 6-4, in 10 innings. Christman over 6.2 innings allowed 3 runs on 2 hits, while striking out 5. Detroit reliever Devin Wickliffe was the winner. His record is now 2-6. Tom Paolucci took the loss. The triumph puts Detroit at 67-54 for the season.

Detroit used the timely hitting of Ryan Forsythe to seize the win. The third baseman stroked a 2-run single in the top of the tenth inning to put the Giants on top, 6-4. It was his only hit in 5 at-bats, but it was a game-changer.

Detroit manager Sean O'Leary commended his team for "banging out a nice win."
