Royal Giants Take Tight Tangle
The Brooklyn Royal Giants weathered an outstanding game by Homestead right fielder Andy Van Slyke to topple the Grays, 7-6. Van Slyke was 2-4 with a home run, a double, and a walk, while scoring 2 runs and driving in 4. Brooklyn reliever Trevor Hildenberger picked up the win to move to 4-2. Bob Friend suffered the loss. Eric Gagne got the save, his 28th in 33 chances.

Brooklyn used the hitting of Dan Brouthers to pick up the win. The first baseman clubbed a run-scoring single in the top of the tenth inning to put the Royal Giants on top, 7-6. For the game, Brouthers had 1 home run and 2 singles in 5 at-bats.

"We'll put this win in our pocket and go after the next one," said Brouthers.

Brooklyn has now won 3 in a row.
