Late Heroics Net Cuban Giants 5-4 Win
Jim Thome helped his team muscle past the Portland Sea Dogs, 5-4. In the game, the Miami first baseman belted 2 home runs. The second-place Cuban Giants have won 4 in a row.

Miami got a knockout punch from Iván Rodríguez. The catcher hammered a solo home run in the bottom of the tenth inning to win the game. It might've been his only hit, but it decided the outcome.

"This kind of game is tough on the heart," said winning manager Daniel Makonnen.
