New York Nets 4-3 Win Versus Spiders
Masahiro Tanaka was outstanding against Cleveland. The right-hander had a fastball that was virtually unhittable at times. The result was a Gothams 4-3 win. The triumph puts New York at 19-14 for the season.

New York took a 4-3 lead on Jim Ray Hart's 9th double of the season. The run-scoring double, which Hart hit in the bottom of the eighth, left Cleveland pitcher Cory Gearrin visibly frustrated.

After the game, New York manager Daniel Makonnen applauded the team's effort. "They busted their tails out there," he said.
