Detroit Beats New York, 3-2
Detroit pitcher Efrain Gutierrez did his part in helping his team defeat the New York Nightmare, 3-2. The opposition could never get too much going against the right-hander. Lee Maher notched his 26th save in 33 chances. Detroit is now 62-95. New York is 57-100.

The Giants got a big at-bat from second baseman Fernando Espindola. For the game, Espindola went 1 for 2 with a double and a walk, while adding 2 RBI and scoring once. In the bottom of the first, with runners on 1st and 2nd, he stroked a 2-run double. His 19th double of the season gave Detroit a 2-0 lead.

Espindola called the win "a collective effort."
