Thome Slugs Cuban Giants to 6-4 Win
Miami first baseman Jim Thome was a significant contributor in his team's 6-4 triumph over the Cleveland Spiders. He was 2-3 with 2 home runs, while adding 4 RBI and scoring twice for the Cuban Giants. The Cuban Giants go to 42-43, putting them second in the American League Cumberland Posey Division.

With Miami leading 1-0 in the top of the first, Thome hit a fastball from Wilbur Cooper for a 3-run home run. It was his 30th home run of the season and put the Cuban Giants ahead, 4-0.

"It never gets old," said Thome. "Winning, that is."
