Dynamos Improve to 68-33 with 11-5 Win
The Detroit Dynamos beat the Minneapolis Millers, 11-5, at Hennepin County Stadium. Detroit center fielder Ed MacNaughton, who is on pace for 103 RBI this season, collected 3 singles and 1 double with 1 run batted in. Earl Shields, the winning pitcher, improved to 12-4. He pitched 7 innings, giving up 7 hits and 3 runs, while striking out 6 and walking 3. The Dynamos lead the Federal Association by a game.

Detroit used the hitting of Joe Holland to pick up the win. The first baseman clubbed a 2-run home run in the top of the first inning to put the Dynamos on top, 2-0. For the game, Holland had 1 home run and 1 single in 5 at-bats.

MacNaughton told the Detroit Times: "I don't know which I enjoy more -- being a ballplayer or the perks that come with being a ballplayer."
