Stars Lose to Black Barons, 8-3
Birmingham center fielder Curtis Granderson had a 3-RBI game, which helped his team beat the Philadelphia Stars, 8-3. Birmingham pitcher Greg Maddux earned the win, hiking his record to 7-9. J.M. Ward suffered the loss. The Black Barons saw their win-loss record go to 46-56. At the same time, the Stars fell to 50-52.

Adrián González had a big 2-run home run for the Black Barons in the top of the second inning. With Birmingham trailing 1-0 and a runner on 1st, he sized up a fastball from J.M. Ward, who is tied for 10th in the NL in innings pitched with 133.1, and punished it. The result was his 20th home run of the season, which put the Black Barons on top, 2-1.

"I like the vibe in the clubhouse after a win," said González. "It sure beats the alternative."
