Cuban Giants Get Past Detroit for 7-6 Win
Detroit center fielder Al Kaline was sensational. He slugged 2 home runs. He drove in 4 runs and scored twice. But it wasn't enough to rally his team to a win. Miami beat the Wolverines, 7-6. Ramón Martínez, now 2-0, was credited with the win in 1 innings of relief. He allowed no runs on 1 hit, while striking out 2 and walking 0. Detroit, with the loss, is still a robust 7-2.

Mark Kotsay drove in 2 runs for Miami. The 21-year old right fielder had a key at-bat in the bottom of the eighth. With one out and the bases loaded, he broke a 6-6 tie with a run-scoring sacrifice fly off Mike Henneman. It was his 4th RBI of the season.

"We just try to have good at-bats, whether we're winning, losing, or tied," said Kotsay.
