Dynamos Subdue Pittsburgh, 3-2
The Detroit Dynamos rode a solid performance from 27-year-old starting pitcher Howie French to a win, beating the Pittsburgh Miners, 3-2, at Thompson Field. In 8.1 innings, French surrendered 8 hits, while striking out 4 and walking 0. He allowed 2 runs. Earl Shields closed it out for Detroit, earning his 4th save.

Dick Tucker, who led the FA in on-base percentage with .449 in 1958, contributed to the Detroit win with a solo home run in the bottom of the seventh. For the game, the second baseman had 2 hits in 4 at-bats with 1 home run, 1 single, 1 run scored, and 1 RBI.

"As well as we've been playing, I think we can play even better," said Detroit manager Verlin Alexander.

The Dynamos, now 8-2, have stormed out of the gates.
