Over 7 innings, he allowed 2 runs on 7 hits, with 1 walk and 3 strikeouts. The loss makes Atlanta 96-37.

With Detroit trailing 2-1 in the top of the fifth, Strader hit a fastball from Harry Inge for a 3-run home run. It was his 18th home run of the season and put the Dynamos ahead, 4-2.

"Good pitching, clutch hitting," said Detroit skipper Roger Cleaves. "I can't complain."
