Dynamos Knock Off Miners at Fitzpatrick Park
Boosted by the 2-hit performance of Dick Tucker, who finished 2nd in the FA in batting average with .355 in 1958, the Detroit Dynamos defeated the Pittsburgh Miners, 5-2. The second-place Dynamos now sit at 87-50.

With Detroit leading 3-2 in the top of the ninth, Tucker hit a fastball from Howie Thomas for a 2-run home run. It was his 19th home run of the season and put the Dynamos ahead, 5-2.

Detroit manager Verlin Alexander called it "a good, solid win."
