Thome Pops Two Homers in 10-3 Win for Miami
The Miami Cuban Giants topped the Baltimore Black Sox, 10-3, in American League action at Baker Bowl. The game was highlighted by the performance of Miami first baseman Jim Thome. Cole Hamels, who is tied for 2nd in the AL in wins with 6, was the winning pitcher. Over 6 innings, he allowed 3 runs on 6 hits, with 1 walk and 7 strikeouts. Miami has run its win streak to 5 straight.

José Canseco had a big 2-run home run for the Cuban Giants in the bottom of the first inning. With Miami trailing 1-0 and a runner on 2nd, he sized up a fastball from 34-year old right-handed pitcher Joe Beggs and punished it. The result was his 23rd home run of the season, which put the Cuban Giants on top, 2-1.

"What's not to like about a win?" said Thome.
