Millers Win, 6-2, Versus Dynamos
Minneapolis Millers starter Don Barrell kept the Detroit Dynamos hitters in check, leading his team to a comfortable 6-2 win. With the win, Minneapolis upped its record to 77-75.

Who knows how it might've ended, had it not been for Tony Nava? The Minneapolis second baseman had a run-scoring double in the top of the sixth inning to put the Millers on top, 3-1. For the game, Nava had 1 double and 2 singles in 6 at-bats.

"I executed the game plan," said Barrell.
