Fisher Stars for Millers in 6-4 Win
George Fisher made an impact in the 6-4 Minneapolis win over Houston. Fisher, who is tied for 4th in the FA in bases on balls with 48, went 3-3 with a home run, 2 singles, and a walk, while scoring 2 and driving in 3. The winner was Minneapolis reliever Ben Baird, now 10-4. The loser was Don Lincoln. Minneapolis is in third place in the Federal Association West with a record of 37-33.

Fisher had a game-changing home run in the bottom of the eighth. On a full count fastball from Don Lincoln, he banged a 2-run home run to center, giving the Millers a 6-4 lead. It was the 11th home run of the year for Fisher.

"We'll enjoy this win for now, but it's just one," Fisher told local reporters. "We've got to keep it going."
