Black Barons Overwhelm Grays, 15-4
Behind a fine performance from Adrián González, the Birmingham Black Barons knocked off the Homestead Grays, 15-4. González was 3 for 4 with a home run, 2 singles, and a walk. He scored 3 times and drove in 4 for the Black Barons. Lefty Gomez picked up the win with 6 innings of work. He allowed 3 runs on 5 hits, while walking 3 and striking out 5. On the season, he is now 4-6. The Black Barons go to 26-42 with the win.

Gene Tenace had a big 2-run home run for the Black Barons in the top of the second inning. With Birmingham leading 1-0 and a runner on 2nd, he sized up a curveball from 28-year old right-handed pitcher Bob Friend and punished it. The result was his 5th home run of the season, which put the Black Barons on top, 3-0.

"Bad day," Homestead manager Daniel Makonnen said. "New day tomorrow."
