American Giants Beaten By Cuban Giants, 5-3
Miami beat Chicago on the strength of starting pitcher José Méndez's fine effort. The right-hander led his team to a win, 5-3. Jonathan Papelbon was credited with the save. He has now successfully converted 6 of 6 save opportunities. The Cuban Giants, at 68-70, sit in second place in the American League Cumberland Posey Division.

Miami used a well-timed hit by Julio Rodríguez to capture the win. The center fielder socked a bases-clearing double in the top of the second inning to put the Cuban Giants ahead, 4-0. Though it was his only hit in 5 at-bats, it was important.

Rodríguez said his team "played with focus."
