San Francisco Downs Detroit, 7-6
Fans were not deterred by the threat of rain. They came to see their hometown Detroit Wolverines take on the San Francisco Sea Lions.

The San Francisco Sea Lions spoiled a good performance by Detroit center fielder Al Kaline, bumping off Detroit, 7-6, at Tiger Stadium. Kaline went 2-4 with a home run, while scoring 2 times and driving in 2. Tim Hudson was the winner in relief. His record is now 1-0. The losing pitcher was Jason Frasor. Rod Beck earned the save, his 4th.

San Francisco used a clutch at-bat from Frank Grant to capture the win. The second baseman hammered a 2-run home run in the top of the sixth inning to put the Sea Lions ahead, 7-6. It was his lone hit in 4 at-bats, but it was a humdinger.

"Say want you want about this team, they play nine innings hard," said San Francisco manager Daniel Makonnen.

The loss makes Detroit 8-6.
