Cuban Giants Lose to Wolverines, 7-5
The 2002 season is off to a good start for the Detroit Wolverines. The hometown Wolverines knocked off the Miami Cuban Giants, 7-5, at Tiger Stadium. Detroit pitcher Charlie Root paced his team to the win. Root, now 1-0, was the winner. In 5.2 innings, he gave up 4 hits, while striking out 11, walking 0, and allowing no runs. Mike Henneman earned save number 1 this season.

Detroit took a 6-2 lead on Al Kaline's 1st home run of the season. The 2-run home run, which Kaline hit in the bottom of the seventh, left Miami pitcher Eustaquio Pedroso visibly frustrated.

"I felt good up there," said Kaline. "I saw the ball well."
