Dynamos Lose Versus Baltimore, 10-5
The 10-5 Baltimore win over Detroit was due in large part to Harry Simmons. The Clippers left fielder went 2-4 with a home run and a walk. He drove in 3 runs and scored once. Joe McDowell got the win, improving to 9-11. He pitched 5 innings, giving up 7 hits and 4 runs, while striking out 1 and walking 1. Baltimore is now 69-60, while Detroit is 46-84.

Baltimore grabbed the momentum in the top of the fifth, when Simmons hit a 3-run home run off Jack Vander Kooi. His 12th home run of the season put the Clippers out in front, 7-4.

"What's not to like about a win?" said Simmons.
