Halifax 4-1 Losers to Giants
The Detroit Giants went home winners at Ballpark of Detroit, thanks in large part to starter Justin Thompson. Thompson stifled the Halifax Heathens, enabling Detroit to grab the 4-1 win. Lee Maher finished to wrap up his 12th save. Detroit is now 34-34.

Steve McLaughlin was 1-2 with 2 walks for Detroit. With one out and the game tied in the bottom of the seventh inning, McLaughlin, who finished 5th in the AC in triples with 7 last year, had a clutch at-bat. Facing Halifax hurler Billy Shields, he drew a walk, driving in 1 run to give the Giants a 2-1 lead.

"What's not to like about a win?" said McLaughlin.
