New York Earns 9-8 Win
In the 9-8 New York win over Detroit, the impact of Grant Johnson was substantial. Johnson, who is tied for 8th in the NL in runs scored with 13, slugged 2 home runs, while adding 5 RBI and scoring twice. The Wolverines fall to 9-12 and continue their uninspiring start to the 2002 season.

The decisive blow was delivered by Jim Ray Hart in the bottom of the ninth when he hit a solo home run off 24-year old right-handed pitcher Jack F Wilson to win the game for New York. The home crowd went nuts.

"This place sure got loud," said Daniel Makonnen, the New York manager.
