Atlanta starter Howie Burt kept the Detroit offense from doing much damage. The left-hander leaned on his curveball in leading the Copperheads to a 1-0 win. Buddy Thomas locked down his 24th save. The Dynamos, at 58-56, have lost 5 straight games.

Atlanta starter Howie Burt was dynamite. The 6-foot-0 left-hander allowed no runs on 3 hits over 8 innings.

"Howie was able to locate to both sides, up and down," said Atlanta manager Don Fox.
