Wolverines Lose at Home, 6-4
The Portland Sea Dogs topped the Detroit Wolverines, 6-4, at Tiger Stadium. Portland center fielder Ken Griffey Jr was a spark plug for the offense. He hit 2 home runs. Walter Johnson, the winning pitcher, improved to 5-5. He pitched 8 innings, giving up 6 hits and 3 runs, while striking out 3 and walking 2. The victory puts Portland at 23-34.

With no one out in the bottom of the fourth, Oscar Gamble had a chance to do some damage. Detroit was trailing 4-1, but had runners on 1st and 3rd. Gamble came to the plate against Walter Johnson, and hit a sacrifice fly. But it was not enough to complete a Detroit comeback.
