Wolverines Win Thriller, 8-6
Behind the bravura of first baseman Juan Beníquez, the Detroit Wolverines topped the Los Angeles Angels by the score of 8-6. Beníquez was 2 for 3 with a home run and a walk, while adding 2 RBI and scoring once for the Wolverines. Chad Bradford, credited with the win in relief, is now 7-7. He allowed no runs on no hits in 1 innings. Los Angeles has now lost 4 consecutive games.

The game was still up for grabs in the bottom of the ninth. With one out, Beníquez hit a slider from Julio Teheran for a 2-run home run. The Wolverines, in dramatic fashion, had a walk-off win.

"We came out aggressive," said Wolverines manager Daniel Makonnen. "We came out swinging the bats."
