| Victors Again, Detroit Win Streak at 8 | Detroit registered a win at Fitzpatrick Park by beating the Pittsburgh Miners, 7-5. Pitcher Jack Miller was one reason why the Dynamos triumphed. In 9 innings, Miller surrendered 8 hits, while striking out 4 and walking 1. He allowed 5 runs. Their 57-36 record puts the Dynamos first in the Federal Association.
The Dynamos benefited from an error in the top of the first inning. Detroit was leading 1-0 when Del Johnson hit a 2-run single that was misplayed. It put Detroit in front, 3-0.
"When their pitchers are leaving stuff over the heart of the plate, we're not missing it," said Detroit manager Dick York.
