Spiders Squeeze By Detroit, 4-3
The Spiders grabbed a win, 4-3, at Tiger Stadium, overcoming a fine effort from Detroit pitcher Sid Fernandez. Fernandez went 6.2 innings and allowed 3 runs. With the loss, Detroit drops to 11-20.

Cleveland took a 4-3 lead on Willie McCovey's 6th home run of the season. The solo home run, which McCovey hit in the top of the ninth, left Detroit pitcher Chad Bradford visibly frustrated.

"I like the grit of this ballclub," McCovey said.
