Miami turned a fine outing from starter Phenomenal Smith into a victory over the Detroit Wolverines at Baker Bowl. The final score was 4-2. In 7 innings, Smith surrendered 6 hits, while striking out 9 and walking 3. He allowed 1 run. Ricky Nolasco was credited with the save. He has now successfully converted 26 of 32 save opportunities.

Gary Sheffield, who is on pace to hit 42 home runs this season, chipped in a 2-run home run for Miami in the bottom of the first. For the game, the third baseman had 2 hits in 4 at-bats with 1 home run, 1 single, 2 runs scored, and 2 runs batted in.

"I just kind of blacked out and executed my pitches," said Smith.

The Cuban Giants improved their record to 77-79 by beating Detroit.
