Pioneers Improve to 18-6 with 5-4 Win
St. Louis left-hander Danny Daniels pitched his team to victory over the Minneapolis Millers at Hennepin County Stadium. The final score was 5-4. John Gibson was called on to finish, recording his 6th save. The Millers, now 2-25, continue their sluggish start.

Danny Davis had a big solo home run for the Pioneers in the top of the fifth inning. With St. Louis leading 4-2 and the bases empty, he sized up a cutter from 30-year old right-handed pitcher Joe McDowell and punished it. The result was his 6th home run of the season, which put the Pioneers on top, 5-2.

"Main thing is I want the team to win," Daniels told a reporter after the game. "Just have to go out there, take care of my job, and give my team a chance to win."
